Risk-based Priority Ranking for Air Pollution Problems in Seoul

We have gathered exposure data on ambient air quality level and investigated dose-response slope factors of air pollutants such as fine particle, HAPs(metals. VOCs, PAHs) and dioxims in Seoul. Theoretical mortality incidences were estimated from exposure to these pollutants. From the results, priorities were ranked in the order fine particle. metals, VOCs, dioxins and PAHs by ordinal scale, and the uncertainties relative to those risk estimates were described.
