Human Health

Definition: There are many potential human health effects from exposure to industrial and natural substances, ranging from transient irritation to permanent disability and even death. Some substances have a wide range of different effects, and different individuals have widely varying tolerances to different substances. The NY Wa$teMatch Reuse Calculator adopts and extends the approach to evaluating human health impacts used by TRACI (the Tool for the Reduction and Assessment of Chemical and Other Environmental Impacts developed by the U) and extended by the BEES 2.0 Peer Review Team. (This approach does not include occupational health effects.) (measured in g toluene equivalents)
