The study of potential health effects of combustion effluents involves identifying the substances present and estimating the probable health hazards of each. Unfortunately, this second step cannot be done by using present techniques. Approximations of health hazards by bacterial and human cell assays are being used to set priorities for further biological studies and to suggest needs for modifications of combustion systems. The assumptions underlying this approximation are discussed, and several examples of combustion effluents are reviewed.
对燃烧废气潜在健康影响的研究包括识别其中存在的物质,并估计每种物质可能的健康危害。不幸的是,目前的技术无法完成第二步。通过细菌和人体细胞试验对健康危害进行近似评估,以确定进一步生物学研究的优先级,并提出对燃烧系统进行改进的需求。讨论了这种近似评估所依据的假设,并回顾了一些燃烧废气的例子。
