Chee, Khoon Ng Chemical Health Risk Index Number (CHRIN) Ethylbenzene Ethylene glycol Industrial air pollutant Model Methanol Methylene ethyl ketone Prioritisation Health Impacts Trichloroethylene Xylene Link to publisher's homepage at http://www.myiem.org.my/ A model for prioritisation of industrial air pollutants was recently developed for use in Sama Jaya Free Industrial Zone (SJFIZ), Kuching based on the amount of toxic organic chemicals released into the atmosphere through stack and fugitive emissions. The Chemical Health Risk Index Number (CHRIN) rankings generated by this model indicate that xylene, among all chemicals emitted has the greatest health impact in terms of population and workers exposure with highest CHRIN of 4.246, followed by methyl ethyl ketone (3.153), trichloroethylene (2.244), ethylene glycol (2.214), methanol (1.697), toluene (1.479) and ethylbenzene (0.610). It is concluded that manufacturing facilities in SJFZ should devote its resources and research more effectively on xylene, followed by methylene ethyl ketone, trichloroethylene, ethylene glycol, methanol, toluene and theylbenzene on use reduction technologies and methods. 2011-09-07T19:16:08Z 2011-09-07T19:16:08Z 2005-06 Article The Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, vol. 66(2), 2005, pages 32-37 0126-513X http://www.myiem.org.my/content/iem_journal_2005-176.aspx http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/13680 en The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia |
