Carcinogen risk assessment.

مقایسه ارزیابی ریسک بهداشتی هیدروکربن های سرطانزا در هوای محیط کار در یک صنعت وابسته به نفت به روش سازمان حفاظت محیط زیست امریکا EPA) ) و روش دپارتمان منابع انسانی مالزی

Background and aims:  A human health risk assessment is the process to estimate the nature and probability of adverse health effects in humans who may be exposed to chemicals in contaminated workplaces, now or in the future. The objective of this study is to compare risk assessment of carcinogen hydrocarbons of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method with the method of Department of...

Carcinogen Risk Assessment of Mutagen X in Chlorinated Drinking Water in West of Tehran, Using Probabilistic Approaches

The present study aims at evaluating the risk of Mutagen X (MX) (3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2 (5H)-furanone) and adverse health effects, associated with direct ingestion of chlorinated drinking water in west of Tehran, supplied by chlorinated drinking water from surface and underground water sources. For one year, MX concentrations in tap water samples has been measured for consumers...

Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment

Assessment of environmental carcinogen risks in terms of life shortening.

An approach is presented to the assessment of carcinogen risks in which the dominant effect of carcinogen exposure is life shortening and the impact falls both on those individuals who would have gotten cancer without the carcinogen exposure as well as the new cancer cases. This analysis is based on the interaction of age-specific tumor incidence rates and population survival in terms of age-sp...
