摘要

本研究旨在评估韩国釜山新平和长林工业园区附近环境空气中多途径暴露与挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）相关的总体健康风险。为了评估减少空气污染物排放和改善空气质量管理的必要性，在工业园区附近选择了5个人口密度高的住宅区。测量了挥发性有机化合物的浓度，并考虑吸入和皮肤接触途径进行了总风险评估。评估结果表明，致癌物质（氯仿、1,2-二氯乙烷、苯、三氯乙烯、四氯乙烯、乙苯和1,3-丁二烯）超过了1 × 10−5的风险水平，表明可能对健康产生不利影响。在非致癌物质的情况下，苯、四氯乙烯、间苯、对二甲苯和邻二甲苯超过了1的风险水平，也表明可能存在健康风险。这项研究的重要意义在于，它通过比较挥发性有机化合物的个体和总体风险，并确定主要暴露途径，确定了总体风险评估的必要性。因此，为了保护新平、长林工业园区附近居民的健康，有必要制定以主要接触途径为中心的管理战略。此外，研究结果对釜山整个沙下区更广泛的空气污染物排放控制和空气质量管理战略具有潜在价值。图形抽象

Aggregate risk assessment of VOCs exposure in residents near Busan’s Sinpyeong and Jangrim industrial complexes

This study aimed to assess the aggregate health risks associated with multi-pathway exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the ambient air near the Sinpyeong and Jangrim industrial complexes in Busan, South Korea. As part of efforts to evaluate the necessity of reducing air pollutant emissions and improving air quality management, five residential areas with high population density near the industrial complexes were selected. VOCs concentrations were measured, and aggregate risk assessments were conducted considering inhalation and dermal exposure pathways. The results of the assessment indicated that the carcinogenic substances (chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, benzene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, ethylbenzene, and 1,3-butadiene) exceeded the risk level of 1 × 10⁻⁵, suggesting potential adverse health effects. In the case of non-carcinogenic substances, benzene, tetrachloroethylene, m,p-xylene, and o-xylene surpassed the risk level of 1, also indicating possible health risks. This study is significant in that it identifies the necessity of aggregate risk assessments by comparing the individual and aggregate risks of VOCs and identifying major exposure pathways. Based on the findings, it is deemed necessary to establish management strategies focusing on the primary exposure pathways to protect the health of residents living near the Sinpyeong and Jangrim industrial complexes. Furthermore, the results have potential value in informing broader air pollutant emission control and air quality management strategies for the entire Saha-gu district of Busan.
