Abstract
The regional industrial complex (RIC) we report consists of 17 chemical
plants and the all-country industrial toxic waste site. Environmental
monitoring did not indicate exceeding of pollutants concentrations over
permissible levels at the RIC. Considering possible synergistic effect
of low level emissions and also complaints of odor annoyance, we
conducted epidemiological study. The purpose of this work was to
evaluate possible effects of RIC emissions on health indicators of the
rural population exposed to the RIC for approximately 25 years.
