Summary: | Conventional pollutants such asSOx, NOx, or TSPM when exceeding their corresponding TLVs/standards definitely cause some adverse effects on health of human. To cause any kind of adverse health effects, the index should approximately exceed about a million. [...]the use of “Hazard” word in exposure indices is completely inappropriate for ambient background exposures. [...]I = 1 corresponds to an annual effective dose of 1 mSv. [...]since all the index parameters are interrelated and correspond to a dose criterion, it is not necessary to use the decades-old Eex and Ein in terms of Hazard Exposure Index. |
