ISSUES AND PROSPECTS OF RISK ASSESSMENT FOR ACUTE INHALATION EXPOSURES
The study substantiates principles, methods and criteria of hazard assessment of acute air pollution for various population groups, including epidemiological data on a wide range of health effects. An air quality assessment scale has been developed for the determination of risks for acute exposure to those chemicals that are among the main urban air pollutants. The study develops a register of hazardous chemical substances that should be verified in Russia.
