A Review of Exposure Assessment Methods in Epidemiological Studies on Incinerators
Figure 4
Results of exposure assessment by using different methodologies. (a) Variability of residential address concentration (ADCO) inside each regular 800 m buffer. Boxes represent the interquartile range (IQR), the horizontal line inside the box is the median value, and the whiskers extend to 1.5 times the IQR from the box. (b) Relationship between ground concentration (ADCO) and deposition (ADDE) at addresses location. The line represents the linear regression model. (c) Relationship between simulated concentrations evaluated at exact address (ADCO) and at census block level (CBCO). The line represents the 1 : 1 relationship. (d) Relationship between distance of the exact address (ADDI1) and distance of the census block centroid (CBDI). The line represents the 1 : 1 relationship.
