Asbestos Exposure and Risk Assessment by ABS(Activity Based Sampling) for Former Asbestos Mining Areas in Korea

摘要: Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the exposure and risk assessment residents near asbestos mines in Korea. Methods: To assess types airborne concentrations, air monitoring performed neighborhoods Kwangcheon (KC) Sinsuk (SS) mines, which were leading South Korean past. In addition, activity-based-sampling (ABS) residents' particular activities conducted order estimate Excess Lifetime Cancer Risks (ELCRs) for residents. Conclusions: average concentration KC 0.0014 f/cc 0.0015 by PCM TEM, respectively. SS it equal at 0.0012 TEM. No statistically significant difference found between two mines. ABS 0.0048 (PCM) 0.0042 (TEM) KC, while 0.0137 0.0125 SS. It that significantly higher than (p<0.01). results ELCRs scenario showed scenarios bicycle, car, weed control, whacking, child playing dirt, physical training fell within 1× 0 -6 - 10 -4 , is acceptable range ELCR. motorcycle, walker, digging, field sweeping, however, exceeded range. SS, only car range, all other
