Alternative models used in the sensitivity analysis 1.
| Model | Equation | Component Scoring Scheme | Maximum Possible Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proposed | (A + B + C) × (D + E) | (10 + 5 + 5) × (3 + 3) | 120 |
| Additive | (A + B + C) + (D + E) | (10 + 5 + 5) + (3 + 3) | 26 |
| Exposure Heavy (×) | (A + B + C) × (D + E) | (20 + 5 + 5) × (3 + 3) | 180 |
| Exposure Heavy (+) | (A + B + C) + (D + E) | (20 + 5 + 5) + (3 + 3) | 36 |
| All Equal (×) | (A + B + C) × (D + E) | (10 + 10 + 10) × (10 + 10) | 600 |
| All Equal (+) | (A + B + C) + (D + E) | (10 + 10 + 10) + (10 + 10) | 50 |
| Burden Only | (A + B + C) | (10 + 5 + 5) | 20 |
1 A = exposure; B = public health effects; C = environmental effects; D = sensitive populations; and E = socioeconomic factors.
