Finding F-1095
“According to our study, children are at risk (1.24 × 10−6 to 4.7 × 10−6) of cancer when they are exposed to an average concentration of 25.4 μg m–3 (min = 1.5, max = 181) of benzene and 8.7 μg m–3 (min = 0.5, max = 225) of formaldehyde in the indoor environment.”
Structure
- Factor
- Formaldehyde (CH₂O)
- Population
- children and adolescents aged 0 to 19 years
- Study design
- health risk assessment of volatile organic compounds for children in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia: benzene, toluene, m,p-xylene and formaldehyde sampled at 144 sites in kindergartens, schools, apartments, houses, traditional gers, hospitals, offices and shopping centres, with lifetime dose and cancer risk calculated by age group (class 4)
- Effect
- mean 8.7
- Caveat
- the risk figures themselves are a calculation; only the measured concentration is taken here
