Since the primary pollutant in the brine is salt, disposal in the ocean is generally not a problem for facilities located near a coastline.
Our chemical analysis next showed that Cr, the primary pollutant in canal water at Hazaribagh, consisted of ≤0.7 μM hexavalent Cr [Cr VI)] and ≤1705 μM trivalent Cr [Cr III)].
The primary pollutant mixture contained compounds in fresh emissions at the early stages of atmospheric chemistry.
The first exposure was in the morning, representing the primary pollutant mixture exposure.
The adjusted pollutant was the residual from a linear regression using the predictors of the primary pollutant and temperature.
As measured in the chemical analysis, some of the starting chemicals reacted throughout the primary pollutant exposure period.
One network was identified for genes affected by the primary pollutant mixture, which included proteins relevant to cancer biology.
It is important to recognize that the primary pollutant exposure did not contain completely fresh, unreacted compounds.
Benzene was the primary pollutant of interest because of its association with other adverse outcomes (IARC 1982; Whitworth et al. 2008).
Any association between fetal growth and the secondary pollutant is then that extra association not accounted for by the primary pollutant or temperature.
