Abstract The study investigated PM 2.5 and heavy metal pollutant concentrations in Seoul Wonju, South Korea, emphasizing the importance of considering chemical constituents for health impact assessments. While were similar between two cities with slight variations, differed significantly. Regional sources, composition, meteorological conditions influenced these variations. Exposure to Fe was highest all areas, some metals exceeding permissible levels, stressing need consider regional...

Particulate matter (PM) can cause illness, including respiratory diseases, and PM2.5 compositions are likely to vary according the emission profiles of industrial complexes. This study analyzed compared concentrations distributions heavy metals in two regions Republic Korea: Yeosu·Gwangyang, which houses a massive national complex, Dangjin, power plants. Further, we conducted health risk assessment on residents areas near these Measurements were taken at five different points each setting...
Abstract Chemical accidents significantly impact environmental and human health. However, studies investigating the impacts of such have primarily focused on single-route exposures, potentially underestimating extent damage. This study aimed to conduct an aggregate risk assessment for multi-route exposure hazardous chemicals ensure systematic rational management health residents exposed chemical accidents, considering behavior a from accident within media. Drawing upon real that occurred in...
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the health effects of heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air around Sinpyeong–Jangrim Industrial Complex, Busan, necessity reduction measures. We measured concentrations VOCs PM2.5 five areas with dense population Complex. A risk assessment was conducted, spatial distribution for entire Saha-gu area predicted using inverse distance weighting (IDW). Our results indicated that carcinogens benzene, As, Cr6+,...
