Measurement of volatile organic compounds and associated risk assessments through ingestion and dermal routes in Dongjiang Lake, China

Investigation on Distribution and Risk Assessment of Volatile Organic Compounds in Surface Water, Sediment, and Soil in a Chemical Industrial Park and Adjacent Area

“…The VOCs concentrations in the water samples from different locations varied by 1–3 orders of magnitude. The VOCs concentrations in the rivers from the study area were obviously higher than those in other environmental rivers in China, such as Dongjiang Lake (2.93 to 4.69 µg/L) [ 3 ], Yangtze River (0–4.03 µg/L), Huaihe River (0–22.21 µg/L), Yellow River (1.94–42.78 µg/L), Haihe River (0.48–42.78 µg/L), and Liaohe River (1.10–20.85 µg/L) [ 4 ].…”

“…The RQs to fish, Daphnia , and green algae for individual VOCs in the InCP and the OuCP water samples were analyzed in this study. An RQ > 1.0 indicates high risk, an RQ of 0.1–1 indicates moderate risk, and an RQ of 0.01–0.1 indicates low risk [ 3 ]. The RQs for most of the VOCs, except for hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, vinylidene chloride, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene, n -butylbenzene, and naphthalene, detected in eight sampling locations from the InCP and the OuCP were below 0.1.…”

“…Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a class of organic chemicals that easily vaporize and enter the environment at room temperature. There is great concern about the potential harm they can cause to human health and the environment [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. VOCs are mainly emitted from biological and anthropogenic sources [ 6 , 7 ] and are widespread in the environment because of their volatility.…”

Occurrence and health risk assessment of volatile organic compounds in the surface water of Poyang Lake in March 2017

“…The distributions of VOCs in lakes/rivers in the literature are shown in Table 2. 19,29,[33][34][35][36][37][38] Fiy kinds of VOCs were detected by Chen in 5 rivers; 19 kinds of VOCs were detected by Han in 3 provinces; 15 kinds of VOCs were detected by Nikolaou in 10 rivers and 7 lakes in Greece; and 22 kinds of VOCs were detected by Cao in Dongting Lake. The number of VOCs detected in Poyang Lake was 22, which is obviously high.…”
