The developed indicators support the identification of pollutants and sources for additional investigation when planning exposure reduction actions among Canadian provinces and territories, but have important limitations similar to other emissions inventory-based tools.
Indicators showing the total emissions and total toxic equivalent emissions can be relatively easy to implement, and may support increasing awareness and evidence for exposure reduction actions with respect to known and suspected carcinogens emitted to air.
As public health increasingly targets the environmental determinants of chronic diseases, biomonitoring is fast becoming a key strategy for providing a scientific basis for prevention via exposure reduction and motivating action.
This health department also has a general page on lead exposure and domestic reduction actions that can be undertaken [ 23].

Regardless of the limitations, this study draws out some important information and themes for further consideration and action, in relation to promoting SHS exposure reduction in the clinical pediatric setting in China.

Examples could include consumer education, research, materials modification or substitution, development of new products or services, exposure reduction, public policy efforts, fieldwork, third-party auditing, adoption of new codes, insurance, employee training or other actions.
