  • Abstract
    As the development of industrialization and urbanization, the potential impact on environment and human health caused by air pollution has been widely concerned, especially the health effects assessment. Qitaihe city is an emerging coal city. Accompanied by the construction and development, the atmospheric quality was influenced to some extent. In this paper, risk assessment methods were used to research the health risk caused by coal industry. The results showed that, the individual annual risk caused by gene toxic substance and body toxic substances are all below the maximum acceptable level, which would make little influence.
