Air emissions and health risk assessment around abattoir facility

Human health risk assessment of air emissions from development of unconventional natural gas resources.

BACKGROUND Technological advances (e.g. directional drilling, hydraulic fracturing), have led to increases in unconventional natural gas development (NGD), raising questions about health impacts. OBJECTIVES We estimated health risks for exposures to air emissions from a NGD project in Garfield County, Colorado with the objective of supporting risk prevention recommendations in a health impact...

Health risk assessment of air emissions from a municipal solid waste incineration plant--a case study.

A health risk assessment of long-term emissions of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic air pollutants has been carried out for the municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) of the city of Taranto, Italy. Ground level air concentrations and soil deposition of carcinogenic (Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins/Furans and Cd) and non-carcinogenic (Pb and Hg) pollutants have been estimated using a well d...

Community Health Risk Assessment of Primary Aluminum Smelter Emissions

OBJECTIVE Primary aluminum production is an industrial process with high potential health risk for workers. We consider in this article how to assess community health risks associated with primary aluminum smelter emissions. METHODS We reviewed the literature on health effects, community exposure data, and dose-response relationships of the principal hazardous agents emitted. RESULTS On the...

RISK ASSESSMENT Probabilistic health risk assessment of PCDD/F emissions from MSW incineration

Assessment of air pollution in exercise centers and health risks

Background: In recent years, Tehran has faced major problems with air pollution for many reasons, and this issue has become a critical point in most of the days. However, less attention has been paid to the indoor air pollutants in exercise centers and their possible health effects. In this research, it was tried to briefly describe the characteristics and chemical composition of the aerosols p...
