Effects of seasons and weather on occupational exposure to BTEX concentrations in a changing climate
Climatic variations in the workplace may change concentration patterns. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of seasons and weather on the occupational concentrations of BTEX compounds. A systematic review was conducted in five digital bibliographic databases. Adhering to PRISMA protocols, an algorithm in the search strategy was employed that incorporated four groups of search terms. The pooled values were also computed using a random-effect model. The results of the qualitative analysis showed that the values of occupational exposure concentrations for BTEX were higher in the winter and summer seasons compared to other seasons. In the non-industrial settings, the pooled values of exposure concentration (μg/m3) to benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene(s) were calculated as 6.74, 28.84, 3.64, and 6.20 in summer and 15.95, 33.09, 6.30, and 8.23 in winter, respectively. In the industrial settings, the pooled values of exposure concentration (μg/m3) to benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene(s) were measured as 9.36, 555.51, 42.09, and 290.54 in summer and 77.44, 2254.84, 1024.21, and 2733.98 in winter, respectively. Occupational exposure to BTEX compounds increases during the winter followed by the summer season. These results might be a recommendation for introducing probable hazardous seasons of exposure for human health.
期刊介绍:
Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health.
It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes.
International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals.
Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements.
This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
