No full textfinal document on the development of a list of soil screening numbers based on “protection of public health and safety ” as required by Health and Safety Code Section 57008 (OEHHA, 2005). The screening numbers have no regulatory authority and are published solely as reference values that may be used by citizen groups, community organizations, property owners, developers, and local government officials to determine sites that would likely need no further action if a full risk assessment were conducted. How these soil screening levels should be applied is explained i

Direct analysis of particulate matter (PM10) for the determination of Be, Cd and Pb using high resolution-continuum source electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry: Assessment of the potential correlation between analyte content and meteorological parameters
No full textLung cancer (exposure assessment, pathology, and epidemiology)
No full textLung cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide and the most common cause of a cancer-related death. Tobacco smoking is the most important cause of lung cancer in most populations although occupational exposures cause an increased risk of lung cancer more than any other malignancy.
