    摘要: Described are systems and methods configured to accurately identify risk levels for individuals with varying sensitivities for those in close proximity to an emitting source and illustrates the impact of weather on levels of toxic concentration of airborne chemicals. As the methods and implementations described herein can be used for any location and any polluting point source of airborne chemicals, it can be a valuable tool to help residents in their efforts to reduce exposures and for medical providers to more accurately diagnose and treat exposed patients. For various distances from a polluting source, this methodology integrates weather, air dispersion analysis and emissions data of a single chemical or mixture of chemicals to provide a quantitative estimate of the frequency of unhealthy exposures to airborne toxins. Moreover, it specifies the frequency and past hours of unhealthy exposures according to the exposed person's sensitivity level.
