Abstract

This study was to assess the lifetime cancer and non-cancer risk on exposure to volatile organic compoundsThis study was assessed the lifetime cancer and non-cancer risk of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)exposure in young children at elementary-schools and academies in Korea. The samples were collected atchildren's facilities (50 elementary-schools and 42 academies) in summer (Aug ~ Sept, 2008), winter (Dec2008 ~ Feb, 2009) and Spring (Mar ~ Apr, 2009) periods, and analyzed by GC-MSD. We estimated thelifetime excess cancer risks (ECRs) of benzene and the hazard quotients (HQs) of non-carcinogens toluene,ethylbenzene, xylene and styrene. In addition, for carcinogens, the excess cancer risk (ECR) was calculatedby considering the process of deciding cancer potency factor (CPF) and age dependent adjust Factor(ADAF) from the data in adults. The average ECRs of benzene for young children were 1×10-7~1×10-9level in all facilities. HQs of four non-carcinogens did not exceed 1.0 for all subjects in all facilities.
