What is responsible for the carcinogenicity of PM2.5
TL;DR: It appears plausible that known chemical carcinogens are responsible for the lung cancers attributed to PM2.5 exposure in the extended ACS Cohort Study, and the possibility should not be ruled out that particulate matter is capable of causing lung cancer independent of the presence of known carcinogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multisite study of particle number concentrations in urban air.
Roy M. Harrison,Alan M. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: Particle number concentration data are reported from a total of eight urban site locations in the United Kingdom, while one is an urban street canyon (Marylebone Road) and another is influenced by both a motorway and a steelworks (Port Talbot).
BookDOI
Environmental and health impact of solid waste management activities
Roy M. Harrison,Ronald E. Hester +1 more
TL;DR: Overview of Waste Management Options: Their Efficacy and Acceptability Health Risks of Materials Recycling Facilities Microbial Emission from Composting Sites Health Effects and Landfill Sites Emissions from Solid Waste Management Activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of personal exposure to volatile organic compounds to home, work and fixed site outdoor concentrations.
TL;DR: A moderate effect of season on the strength of the association between personal exposure and ambient concentrations was found and needs to be taken into account when using fixed site measurements to infer exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physicochemical speciation of Cd, Pb, Cu, Fe and Mn in the final effluent of a sewage treatment works and its impact on speciation in the receiving river
TL;DR: A scheme for the speciation of metals in freshwaters has been applied to the analysis of the final effluent from a sewage treatment plant and to the receiving river upstream and downstream of the effluent outfall as mentioned in this paper.
