Ventilation impairment of residents around a cement plant
OBJECTIVES To identify adverse health effects due to air pollution derived from a cement plant in Korea. The ventilation impairment in residents around a cement plant was compared to another group through a pulmonary function test (PFT). METHODS From June to August of 2013, both a pre and post-bronchodilator PFT was conducted on a "more exposed group (MEG)" which consisted of 318 people who l...
متن کاملAssessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Soils around of Khash Cement Plant, SE Iran
20 soil samples collected from the vicinity of the Khash Cement plant, Iran, were analyzed for As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb and Zn using ICP-OES. The results revealed that the metal distribution were in a fluctuating manner considering various distances and direction from the cement facility. However, it was observed that the mean concentration of the soil samples has no special trend wit...
متن کاملA Detailed Investigation of Particulate Dispersion from Kerman Cement Plant
The aim of this study was to investigate the particulate dispersion from Kerman Cement Plant. The upwind – downwind method was used to measure particle concentration and a cascade impactor was applied to determine particle size distribution. An Eulerian model, Gaussian plume model and an artificial neural network have been used to compute and predict concentration of PM10 from Ke...
متن کاملAir pollution and urinary n-acetyl-B-glucosaminidase levels in residents living near a cement plant
BACKGROUND To identify adverse renal effects due to air pollution derived from a cement plant in Korea. Urinary n-acetyl-B-glucosaminidase (U-NAG) levels in residents living near a cement plant were compared to those in a group who lived farther away from the plant. METHODS From June to August 2013 and from August to November 2014, laboratory tests for U-NAG and heavy metal were conducted on ...
متن کاملMeasurements of individual radiation doses in residents living around the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
At the outset of the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in March 2011, the radiation doses experienced by residents were calculated from the readings at monitoring posts, with several assumptions being made from the point of view of protection and safety. However, health effects should also be estimated by obtaining measurements of the individual radiation doses. The individual e...
