Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

As is well known, one of the key problems facing modern humanity is atmospheric pollution caused by harmful industrial emissions, which negatively affect both the environment and public health.The main goal of this study is to conduct an analytical assessment of the impact of atmospheric air pollution on public health, using molybdenum production as an example.The evaluation includes an analysis of the acute toxic effects of pollutants on public health resulting from emissions of a molybdenum enterprise.The assessment of health risks caused by exposure to chemical air pollutants in the emissions of molybdenum mining enterprises revealed that the individual carcinogenic risk associated with substances such as nitrogen dioxide, dust, ammonia, sodium sulfide, and benzo [a] pyrene (a total of 17 substances) is 0.999.
