Ranking Emission Sources in Lebanon: Health Effects Paradigm

Explore air pollution exposure in Lebanon today, assessing the impact on public health based on emission sources. Utilizing the emissions-to-health effects paradigm by Smith (1993) and insights from Nazaroff (AAAR, 2010) and Smith's work on developing countries' situations. Discover the inhaled fraction (iF) and PPAH inhaled from various sources. Assumptions include a population-weighted average breathing rate and PAH content.

  1. Somewhere in Lebanon today…

  2. How do we rank these emission sources? Vs. Vs.

  3. Emissions-to-health effects paradigm (Smith, 1993) Nazaroff, AAAR 2010 Smith, K.R., 1993. Fuel combustion, air pollution exposure, and health: The situation in developing countries. Annual Review of Energy and the Environment 18, 529-566.

  4. Emissions-to-health effects paradigm (Smith, 1993) Exposure – intersection in space & time between pollutants & people Nazaroff, AAAR 2010 Smith, K.R., 1993. Fuel combustion, air pollution exposure, and health: The situation in developing countries. Annual Review of Energy and the Environment 18, 529-566.

  5. Inhaled fraction, iF

  6. Inhaled fraction, iF iF outdoor emissions ~ 1/1,000,000 indoor emissions ~ 1/1,000 into mouth (cigarette) ~ 1

  7. So how much PPAH do we inhale from which sources?

  8. Assumptions Population weighted-average breathing rate 15 m3/day

  9. 1 CIG = 0.25 mg PAH
