Seasonal variation in bacterial heavy metal biosorption in water samples from Eziama river near soap and brewery industries and the environmental health implications

“…Often, the information describing the health impact of the susceptibility factor is incomplete due to, (i) a failure to consider factors modifying susceptibility; (ii) inadequate exposure data; (iii) a failure to evaluate the health impact of the susceptibility factor . In addition, for a given exposure agent, several susceptibility factors may be relevant (Grassman, 1996). While incomplete data describing susceptibility factors limits the opportunity for quantitative estimations of risk, information from soil analysis can supplement qualitative evaluations and risk prevention and management.…”

The indirect effect of fine particulate matter on health through individuals’ life-style

“…Susceptibility factors could be strictly linked to fixed individual characteristics such as genetics, gender, age and race or to variable individual characteristics caused by the realities of life (Di Novi, 2009). Low socioeconomic classes, for instance, tend to be more susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollution because of other factors related to their life-styles: they are more likely to be uninformed over environmental health issues, to have an unhealthy diet, to smoke and drink alcohol, and in general to lead less healthy lives, with associated effects on their health (Grassman, 1996;Sexton, 1997). Hence, analysts must calculate changes in health outcomes by taking into account that the effect of pollution could easily be correlated with other factors that may be just as influential (Schwartz and Weiss, 1994 a, b; Brook et al, 2004) 1 .…”
