| Abstract: | In order to study the effects of air pollution, about 1,300 samples of airborne particulate matter (APM) were collected at
suburban and industrial sites, in Daejeon, Korea from 1998 to 2006. The concentrations of carcinogenic (As and Cr) and non-carcinogenic
metals (Al, Mn, and Zn) were determined by using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). These long-term metal concentration
data were applied to a risk assessment of inhalation exposure using Monte Carlo analysis (MCA). |
