This page contains exposure-response functions of several environmental pollutants that do not have own pages. This page used to contain e.g. estimates for dioxins, but they were moved to ERF of dioxin.

Question

What are ERFs of environmental pollutants that do not have own pages in Opasnet?

Answer

Relevant results here (in Finnish).

+ Show code- Hide code library(OpasnetUtils) # A package with Opasnet functionalities library(xtable) # A package with table formats library(ggplot2) # A package with fancy graph formats objects.latest("Op_en5827", "initiate") # Get the latest ovariables from code calculations on page Op_en5918 (ERF of several environmental pollutions). ERF ERF <- EvalOutput(ERF, N = 3) ERF@output$ERFResult <- as.numeric(as.character(ERF@output$ERFResult)) ERF@output <- ERF@output[colnames(ERF@output) != "Obs"] print(xtable(ERF@output, digits = 4), type = 'html') ggplot(ERF@output[ERF@output$ERF.Parameter == "RR" , ], # Show a bar chart aes(x = Pollutant, y = ERFResult, fill = Response.metric)) + geom_bar(position="dodge") + theme_grey(base_size = 24) + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1)) ggplot(ERF@output[ERF@output$ERF.Parameter == "UR" , ], # Show a bar chart aes(x = Health.impact, y = ERFResult, fill = Response.metric)) + geom_bar(position="dodge") + theme_grey(base_size = 24) + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))
