  • Title: [Human health risk upon air exposure to chemicals in enclosed spaces and residential areas of an industrial town].
    Author: Neplokhov AA, Salikhova LR, Neplokhov AI, Dunaev VN.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2009; (4):89-91. PubMed ID: 19799234.
    Abstract:
    The study determined priority chemicals in the ambient air and air of enclosed spaces of the town's administrative districts, by taking into account the formation of a community health risk. The industrial town's areas were ranked by the hazard of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects caused by the varying intraenvironmental distribution of substances. The distribution of pollutants in the study areas with varying anthropogenic exposures allows one to consider suspended matter, cadmium, nickel, and formaldehyde in the air of residential areas and formaldehyde, phenol, and suspended matter in the air of enclosed spaces as universal markers of exposure for dwelling environmental factors in the identification of toxicants and in the assessment of community health risk within the framework of sociohygienic monitoring and as indicators for the assessment of the immediate and final results of purpose-oriented departmental programs.
