摘要

摘要苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯（BTEX）化合物因其毒性作用而闻名。对德里不同城市植被区的环境BTEX水平进行了研究，以评估所涉及的健康风险。在BTEX化合物中，甲苯和二甲苯的平均浓度较高。苯的癌症风险超过了美国环境保护局和世界卫生组织的基准限值。这项研究表明，德里的植被区对公共卫生来说并不安全，监管机构需要采取一些行动。

BTEX Concentrations and Associated Health Risks at Urban Vegetative Sites in Delhi, India

Abstract Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds are known for their toxic effects. The ambient BTEX levels were studied at various urban vegetative locations of Delhi to assess the health risks involved. The average concentrations were higher for toluene and xylene among BTEX compounds. The cancer risks for benzene exceeded the benchmark limits of USEPA and WHO. The study suggests that the vegetative areas in Delhi are not safe for public health and regulatory bodies need to initiate some action.

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.
