A preliminary framework to measure public health emergency response capacity

Abstract

To provide a scientific guide for most countries in the world to build a complete public health emergency management system. Capacity assessment theory and emergency management theory were reviewed respectively and linked together to construct a preliminary, two-dimensional public health emergency response capacity framework. A preliminary framework for public health emergency response capacity was obtained, which consists of three levels: the systems level, the organizational level, and the individual level. A two-dimensional matrix or a set of two-dimensional matrixes that comprise capacity, dimension, and emergency function dimension formed the preliminary framework in three levels, respectively. This preliminary framework can act as a theoretical guide for a country or a region to set up their own public health emergency response systems.

Environmental impact assessment of natural radioactivity and heavy metals in drinking water around Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in Mersin Province

“…(4), which consists of two variables: average daily intake values (ADI) of heavy metals and the chronic reference dose values (R f D ) given in Table 4 for each heavy metal. 10,15 HQ is a unitless number that is expressed as the probability of an individual suffering an adverse effect. For n number of heavy metals, the noncarcinogenic effect on the population is as a result of the summation of all the HQs due to individual heavy metals.…”
