  1. Chronic Health Risks and Industrial Emissions University DaysRound Table Innovative Projects in Medical EducationKazakh National Medical University Michael Brody December 2011

  2. Emissions InventoryZaporozhe, Ukraine • Industrial Sectors • Metallurgy • Chemical • Still Significant Soviet Era Technology • 51 Compounds from 12 Industrial Facilities to Air, including • Metals (chromium, lead, nickel, mercury) • Benzene, toluene, benzo-a-pyrene • PM, SO2, NOx

  3. Possible Types of Health Effectsfrom the 51 compounds • Cancer • Developmental • Organ damage • Neurological • Respiratory • Immunological • Reproductive • Cardiovascular

  4. Environmental Health Risks • What are common exposures? • Air • Water, Soil • Are children commonly exposed? • Are there well described chronic conditions that have associations with industrial emissions?

  5. Epidemiology & Health Risk Analysis • Epidemiology can provide some evidence that particular pollutants may be a problem • Always complexity – multiple, simultaneous exposures – difficult to analyze • Long lag times to disease
