Assessment of the risk of dust influence on human health in urban built-up areas

Abstract

The non-carcinogenic risk of chronic effects Rch and immediate effects Rn caused by human exposure to dust depending on the urban development density was determined. The equation was obtained which sets the relation between the concentration of dust in the atmospheric air and the air temperature, humidity, wind velocity, the coefficient of housing development density, the specific load of dust pollution on the atmosphere. It can be used in practice in the course of dispersion calculation and risk assessment, including the forecasting ones.
