A recent study conducted by researchers from Bengbu Medical College in China analyzed the concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in total suspended particulate matter (TSP) samples collected in Bengbu City. The study found that PAH pollution in the atmosphere was caused by industrial emissions, combustion of gasoline, diesel fuel, coal, biomass, and natural gas. The research also assessed the health risks associated with PAH exposure and found that the annual total carcinogenic equivalent concentration values for PAHs were classified as moderate. The study concluded that the annual incremental lifetime cancer risk values for both adults and children were higher than the standard. [Extracted from the article] |
