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.
