Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Uncertainties in evaluating risk

Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Uncertainties in evaluating risk Uncertainties in evaluating the risk to human health: Recent Canadian benzene concentrations based on monitoring data at or near gasoline station operations were not available. Estimates of benzene concentrations emitted from gasoline stations were based on modelled values of total evaporative losses, which were then used with air dispersion models to estimate the benzene exposure concentrations for residents living within the vicinity of gasoline stations. Modelling inherently includes uncertainties relating to the assumptions, input data and modelling tools used. 2024-06-05 Health Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyBenzeneBenzene releasesbenzene-emissionsgasoline stationsimplications for human-healthmitigating measuresvapour-releases at gasoline-stationsuncertainties in-valuating riskbenzene concentrationsestimates of benzene-concentrationsemitted from gasoline-stationsmodelled valuestotal evaporative lossesair dispersion modelsestimatebenzene exposure concentrationsresidentsmodellinguncertaintiesassumptionsinput datamodelling tools used Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Uncertainties in evaluating riskHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/healthy-living/benzene-releases-gasoline-stations-implications-human-health/uncertainties-evaluating-risk.html Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Uncertainties in evaluating riskHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/publications/vie-saine/rejets-benzene-provenant-stations-service-repercussions-sante-humaine/incertitudes-evaluation-risque.html
