The Use of Carbonaceous Particle Exposure Metrics in Health Impact Calculations

The Use of Carbonaceous Particle Exposure Metrics in Health Impact Calculations

Combustion-related carbonaceous particles seem to be a better indicator of adverse health effects compared to PM2.5 and PM10. Historical studies are based on black smoke (BS), but more recent studies use absorbance (Abs), black carbon (BC) or elemental carbon (EC) as exposure indicators. To estimate...
