Rising Carcinogenic Risk from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Exposure Through Indoor Settled Dust: First Comprehensive Residential Dust Assessment from India

Unveiling distribution and health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) bound to PM2.5 in indoor and outdoor environments of urban primary schools

The results of the total carcinogenic risk for children aged 7–12 years in all schools caused by the presence of PAHs compounds in outdoor environments was acceptable and in some indoor environments, the values at certain schools exceeded the standard threshold of 10− 6-10− 4, indicating potential health risks.

Occurrence, sources, and health risk assessment of organophosphate esters in road dust and roadside soil from Tianjin, China.

Road dust and roadside soil samples were collected from industrial and residential areas of Tianjin, China, in summer and winter, and 14 representative organophosphate esters (OPEs) were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to systematically investigate their concentrations, spa...

Comparative Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Levels in Indoor and Outdoor Air and Associated Inhalation Health Risks in Akpajo, Alesa and Aleto Communities, Eleme, Rivers State, Nigeria

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent semi-volatile organic contaminants generated mainly during the incomplete combustion of organic materials and petroleum-derived fuels. This study assessed PAH levels in indoor and outdoor air and estimated the associated inhalation health risks in Akpajo, Alesa and...
