Abstract

The Oxidative Stress Index can be modified to carry out public health surveys to determine increased risks for disease onset to individuals chronically exposed to air pollutants. Sources of such air pollutants can be chemical manufacturing plants, petroleum storage and transfer sites, power plant and other industrial stack emissions, leaking toxic landfills, mining operations and metal recycling plants. Using a modified version of the Oxidative Stress Index, members of communities impacted by chronic environmental spills and emissions can be surveyed to determine how proximity to release points and duration of exposure predict the likelihood of disease onset. Data obtained can also be used to assess questionable toxic impact where chronic sensual discomfort is prevalent.
