Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk Assessment of Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted from a Petrochemical Industrial Complex
A health risk assessment for the Lin-Yuan Petrochemical Industrial Complex (LYPIC) in southern Taiwan was conducted in this study. The main aims of the study were to develop an emission inventory for the 21 processing plants in the LYPIC, conduct hazard identification based on the emission inventory, perform an exposure assessment by applying air dispersion modeling to obtain the annual average...
متن کاملAmbient levels of volatile organic compounds in the vicinity of petrochemical industrial area of Yokohama, Japan
Urban ambient air concentrations of 39 aromatic (including benzene, toluene, and xylenes) and aliphatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured in Yokohama city, Japan. Yokohama city was selected as a case study to assess the amount of VOC released from Industrial area to characterize the ambient air quality with respect to VOC as well as to know the impact of petrochemical storage faci...
متن کاملReal-Time Monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds in Hazardous Sites
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are largely used in many industries as solvents or chemical intermediates. Unfortunately, they include some components, present in the atmosphere, that can represent a risk factor for human health. They are also present as a contaminant or a by-product in many processes, i.e. in combustion gas stacks and groundwater clean-up systems. Benzene, in particular, sho...
متن کاملUse of a gas-sensor array for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOC) in chemically induced cells.
An application of gas sensors for rapid bioanalysis is presented. An array of temperature-modulated semiconductor sensors was used to characterize the headspace above a cell culture. Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells, able to respond to 17 beta-estradiol by producing a reporter protein, were used as a model system. Yeast cells had the DNA sequence of the human estrogen receptor s...
متن کاملSemi-quantitative risk assessment of health exposure to hazardous chemical agents in a petrochemical plant
Background: Chemical contaminants present in the work environments include gases, vapors, and solid and liquid suspended particles. The number of factories producing chemicals has increased significantly. Each year, new products are introduced into the market. Consequently, the number of employees at risk of exposure to these materials is increased. Hazardous chemicals are used in the petrochem...
