Health Risk Assessment of Workers' Exposure to Organic Compounds in a Tire Factory

Feasibility the Biological Monitoring of Workers Exposed to Benzene and Toluene via Measuring the Parent Compounds in the Exhaled Breath

“…Personal exposure to benzene in the present study is less than that reported in tire manufacturing in other developing countries such as Turkey (28,29), similar to that in South Korea (30), and higher than that reported in developed countries (31,32). In this study, the mean toluene concentration from personal monitoring was similar to that reported in Brazil (33) and lower than that reported in China (34).…”

Health risk assessment of BTEX emissions in the landfill environment

“…On the other hand, some risk is assumed for carcinogens, regardless of dosage [30][31][32]. Concentrations of gaseous contaminants are measured routinely in many countries, usually in response to concerns about potential effects on human health [33][34][35][36][37][38]. However, their risk assessment for public health has not yet become a routine task with respect to MSW landfills.…”

Impacts associated with the plastic polymers polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polybutadiene across their life cycle: A review

“… Vulcanisation VOCs and semi-VOCs (e.g., benzene, hydrazine, and n-Nitrosodi- n -propylamine) Benzene, hydrazine, and n-Nitrosodi- n -propylamine are carcinogens [ 4 ] on the ChemSec Substitute it Now (SIN) list [ 71 ]. Occupational exposure associated with higher risk of cancer [ 301 , 302 ]. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Carcinogenic [ 303 ] – occupational exposure documented [ 302 ].…”
