Modeling human exposures to air pollution control (APC) residues released from landfills in England and Wales.

Human exposures to air pollution control (APC) residues released from 6 landfills were modeled and assessed. Following a qualitative risk characterisation, direct and indirect exposures were quantified. Site-specific air dispersion modeling was conducted for PM(10), PCDDs/PCDFs, Pb, Cd, As and Cr(VI) concentrations at the closest residential points of exposure for 4 landfill sites accepting, in...

Characterising mesopic spectral sensitivity from reaction times

The spectral sensitivity of the eye was investigated using reaction times to broadband chromatic stimuli over a range of background luminances. Relative sensitivity was determined from the nonlinear reaction time curve by converting reaction times to a linear measure that was independent of spectral sensitivity. Two models for mesopic spectral sensitivity were compared. The first was a linear c...
