Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Conclusion and next steps

Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Conclusion and next steps Conclusion: In this report, the short-term benzene releases occurring due to tanker truck unloading of gasoline into storage tanks at gasoline stations and long-term releases of benzene from gasoline station total evaporative losses are estimated. For those living in the vicinity of the gasoline station, the incremental risks for tumourogenicity from long-term inhalation exposure to evaporative emissions of benzene from gasoline ranged from 3 to 32 per million population at a distance of 20 m from the gasoline station fenceline. Risk levels of 10 per million and above are of particular concern. 2024-06-05 Health Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyBenzeneBenzene releasesbenzene-emissionsgasoline stationsimplications for human-healthmitigating measuresvapour-releases at gasoline-stationsconclusion and next-steps Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Conclusion and next stepsHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/healthy-living/benzene-releases-gasoline-stations-implications-human-health/conclusion-next-steps.html Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Conclusion and next stepsHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/publications/vie-saine/rejets-benzene-provenant-stations-service-repercussions-sante-humaine/conclusion-prochaines-etapes.html
