“…Las propiedades fisicoquímicas que se usan para predecir dicha movilidad son, principalmente, la solubilidad en agua, la estructura quí-mica que permite definir si el compuesto es iónico o no iónico. Si el compuesto es iónico, con las constantes de ionización (pKa o pKb), se puede deducir si el compuesto va a estar o no ionizado, a las condiciones normales de pH del medio (Ares, 2004).…”

“…Dunn (2004) used the modified CHEMS model to rank pesticides used in Canada and asserted that according to the resultant risk scores, the highest ranked substances were Chlorothalonil, Diquat, Dibromide, Mancozeb, Metiram, and Carbofuran. Many other researchers, such as Ares (2004), Peterson (2006), Juraske et al (2007), and Stenrød et al (2008) also used other procedures for ranking and scoring pesticides by their environmental and toxicological concern to assess the potential environmental risk of chemicals. Peterson (2006) used the Risk Quotient (RQ) method to characterize risk quantitatively.…”

A modified chemical ranking and scoring method entitled the CHEMS (Chemical Hazard Evaluation for Management Strategies) model was used to yield a relative weighted risk for insecticides used in the northern areas of Iran. The CHEMS model uses six toxicity and three exposure potential parameters to measure the overall hazard of a substance. The results suggest that Diazinon (granule [GR] 10%) was ranked as a high spot for release-weighted risk in this study although its relatively low risk score (RS) compared to other insecticides, which is due to its high volume consumption. The highest-priority insecticides for future action (the ones that present the highest weighted risk score [WRS]) would include Fipronil, Thiodicarb and Azinphos-methyl. Cartap identified as a hazardous insecticide regarding aquatic organisms and might threaten the natural aquatic ecosystems in these areas if continually used. Thiodicarb had the highest effect on human health. This study showed that a chemical with low RS but high environmental loading and usage and medium persistence (i.e. Cartap) can pose a low WRS. Results of the CHEMS model in this study could help guide a prospective monitoring study, thereby assisting risk managers with managing more efficiently, resources dedicated to mitigating risks posed by insecticides in the northern parts of Iran.

“…Thus, it is necessary to investigate the temporal variations and the spatial distributions of exposure and health risks during rapid industrialization. Multimedia mathematical models of chemicals (e.g., multimedia fugacity models), with proven acceptable estimated accuracy, can be used for further risk estimation as a supplement or alternative to monitoring data (Connell et al ., 1998 [ 10 ]; Ares, 2004 [ 11 ]; Yang et al ., 2005 [ 12 ]; Duan et al ., 2013 [ 13 ]). The thermodynamic concept of fugacity was first introduced as an equilibrium criterion among different phases by Lewis in 1901 (Mackay, 1979 [ 14 ]).…”

Large amounts of organic pollutants emitted from industries have accumulated and caused serious human health risks, especially in urban areas with rapid industrialization. This paper focused on the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) from industrial effluent and gaseous emissions, and established a multi-pathway exposure model based on a Level IV multimedia fugacity model to analyze the human health risks in a city that has undergone rapid industrialization. In this study, GIS tools combined with land-use data was introduced to analyze smaller spatial scales so as to enhance the spatial resolution of the results. An uncertainty analysis using a Monte Carlo simulation was also conducted to illustrate the rationale of the probabilistic assessment mode rather than deterministic assessment. Finally, the results of the case study in Nanjing, China indicated the annual average human cancer risk induced by local industrial emissions during 2002–2008 (lowest at 1.99×10–6 in 2008 and highest at 3.34×10–6 in 2004), which was lower than the USEPA prescriptive level (1×10–6–1×10–4) but cannot be neglected in the long term.The study results could not only instruct the BaP health risk management but also help future health risk prediction and control.
