A Study of Monitoring Method on Exposure Level and Biomarkers of Environmental Pollutants -Focused on Ulsan Industrial Complex Area-

A study on modeling nitrogen dioxide concentrations using land-use regression and conventionally used exposure assessment methods

“…Ulsan is considered a symbol of economic development in the Republic of Korea, with two large industrial complexes (the Ulsan petro-chemical complex and the Ulsan Mipo industrial complex) within the borders of the city. The Ulsan cohort is a government-supported study established in 2003 to monitor exposure levels and biomarkers of environmental pollutants in the residents of the highly industrialized city, Ulsan (Lee et al 2008). The study population for the current analyses included the participants of the year 2010, whose street-level addresses were known, resulting in 969 of the 1021 participants.…”

Effects of Environmental Air Pollution on Pulmonary Function Level of Residents in Korean Industrial Complexes

“…The industrial complexes were largely responsible for increasing serious problems, including various types of environmental pollution (such as stench, air pollution, soil contamination, and discharge of toxic metals into the surface water and groundwater). Huge concerns, including arguments from the government and local communities, have been raised from different public health perspectives [ 2 , 3 ]. Environmental pollution poses a huge threat to the well-being of human health in the general population of residents, and the standardized incidence or mortality ratios of environmental diseases emerged as one of the priorities of the national environmental health policy [ 4 ].…”
