Improving consistency in estimating future health burdens from environmental risk factors: Case study for ambient air pollution Environ. Int. (IF 11.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Christopher S. Malley, Susan C. Anenberg, Drew T. Shindell
Future changes in exposure to risk factors should impact mortality rates and population. However, studies use mortality rates and population projections developed exogenously to the health impact assessment model used to quantify future health burdens attributable to environmental risks that are therefore invariant to projected exposure levels. This impacts the robustness of many future health burden

Multivariate analysis of carcinogenic equivalence (CEQ) to characterize carcinogenic VOC emissions in a typical petrochemical industrial park in Taiwan Environ. Int. (IF 11.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Wei-Hsiang Chen, Chin-Fa Chang, Chin-Hsing Lai, Yen-Ping Peng, Yu-Jih Su, Guan-Fu Chen
Large industrial emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the petrochemical industry are a critical concern due to their potential carcinogenicity. VOC emissions vary in composition depending on the source and occur in mixtures containing compounds with varying degrees of toxicity. We proposed the use of carcinogenic equivalence (CEQ) and multivariate analysis to identify the major contributors
