Abstract

Abstract Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) have been classified as hazardous air pollutants and cause serious effects on human health. In this study, BTEX sampling was conducted during March 2018 and the concentrations were analyzed using GC-FID. The BTEX emissions exhibited a diurnal pattern with a peak in the evening followed by in morning due to rush hours of traffic. The study suggests that the high density of vehicles and traffic on road is responsible for higher emission of BTEX that affects the health of daily commuters and also the people residing near the roadside area in East Delhi.

东德里交通拥堵地区附近的苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯水平

摘要苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯（BTEX）已被列为有害空气污染物，对人类健康造成严重影响。在本研究中，BTEX采样于2018年3月进行，并使用GC-FID分析浓度。BTEX排放呈现出一种昼夜模式，由于交通高峰期，晚上达到峰值，早上紧随其后。研究表明，道路上车辆和交通的高密度是导致BTEX排放增加的原因，这影响了日常通勤者以及居住在东德里路边地区附近的人们的健康。

期刊介绍： The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
