Empirical data
Taina Miranda AraujoIn response to
Studie provides visual representations of lead concentration in Santa Ana cross matching it with vulnerability risk.
What quotes from this text are exemplary or particularly evocative?
Taina Miranda Araujo“Also of note when interpreting our results is that this study did not take into consideration the ingestion of heavy metals through the dietary route. Had we considered this additional exposure pathway, our calculated chronic daily intake levels of heavy metals would have been greater, resulting in higher estimated risk (particularly for metals such as Pb, As, and Cd which have been widely documented in various foods)” (Marsi et al. 2021)
“Both cancer and non-cancer risk at the Census tract level exhibited positive correlations with indicators of social as well as physiological vulnerability” (Marsi et al. 2021)
What is the main argument?
Taina Miranda AraujoIn response to
Exposure to heavy metals has been associated with adverse health effects and disproportionately impacts communities of a lower socio-economic status.
