“…2 and 3 indicated no obvious decreases in non-cancer and cancer risks after BF treatment, suggesting that de-dusting technology doesn't offer a significant reducing risks from VOCs. These results are similar with previous study, indicating that different de-dusting technologies contribute little to VOCs elimination [11].…”

“…Specifically, PC technology removed approximately 65.3% of TVOC, followed by BTF (14.6%) and BF (3.8%) technology. This result consistent with previous research [11], suggesting that PC contributed the most to VOC removal due to its aromatic degradation abilities [21,22]. The de-dusting technology was less effective to VOCs.…”

“…However, several VOCs categorized as class 1 carcinogens, including benzene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, have resulted in cancer. In addition, exposure to other VOCs including toluene, ethylbenzene and trichloroethylene, may have bad impacts on humans health [4, 5]. During past recent decades, broad studies there have been conducted on the VOC levels and scenarios such as atmospheric and industrial environment as well as vehicle sources [1, 6–8], but only a few studies are available about reactivity contributions of VOC spreaded from waste transfer stations (WTSs).…”

BackgroundThe waste transfer stations (WTSs) is one of the most important factors affecting on environment and human health. This research is aimed to evaluate health risk of VOCs among WTS personnel and provide a model for dispersion of VOCs. The Air Pollution Model (TAPM) is able to simulate WTS emissions dispersion over each town.ResultGC-MS was used to analysis collected gas samples to detect and estimate carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic VOCs health risks. The total lifetime cancer risk values for the all personnel (3.30E-05), was more than acceptable limit (1.00E-06). Furthermore, hazard ratio (HR) of 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, 1,3-dichloropropane, toluene, m,p-xylene and ethylbenzene were 3.7, 1.9 E-01, 4.4 E-03, 5.5 E-02 and 1.5 E-03, respectively, and total HR of the mentioned compounds were more than accepted limit (HR < 1.00). IOA is 0.85 and RMSE is 2.16 and TAPM has a good performance. The VOCs level is considerable in 1600 m far from the WTS particularly in summer that require more attention.ConclusionThe exposure to VOCs was at a high level in WTS, and some controlling strategy should be used for decreasing the pollution and protecting the citizens and personnel against non-cancerous and cancerous risks.

The health and environmental problems caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have attracted wide attention. Photocatalytic technology provides a green and sustainable way for VOCs removal. How to build a highly efficient and stable photocatalyst is of great significance to promote the practical application of photocatalysis technology. In this review, the literatures on photocatalytic oxidation in VOCs are surveyed and systematically categorized based on the types of photocatalytic materials. The methods of improving photocatalytic activity are studied, and the deactivation process of photocatalyst is discussed. Finally, the reaction mechanism is summarized according to the charge separation process and the classification of reactive oxygen species.
