Air pollution exposure at fuel refilling centres
Benzene is present in petroleum products such as fuels, diesel fuel, crude oil, petrol. Benzene has been shown to cause cancer in both animals and humans, therefore is currently classified as human caricinogen (Group A) by US Environmental protection agency, and International Agency for Research on Cancer 1996 and based on limited evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals. It is accepted that benzene is a genotoxic carcinogen and therefore no absolutely safe exposure level can be defined.
In this study, we would measure concentration of various pollutants in the breathing zone of fuel pump workers. Available technologies would be evaluated for controlling these air pollutants.
