Urban ambient air concentrations of 39 aromatic (including benzene, toluene, and xylenes) aliphatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured in Yokohama city, Japan. city was selected as a case study to assess the amount VOC released from Industrial area characterize quality with respect well know impact petrochemical storage facilities on local quality. For this purpose, samples collected (from June 2007 November 2008) at six locations which are designated industrial, residential, or...

Trace metal contamination is a major problem globally, especially in developing countries. In this study, the levels of trace metals (Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb) water sediment some peripheral rivers Dhaka City, Bangladesh, were investigated. Huge amount municipal wastes, industrial effluents agricultural runoff from periphery City notably are dumped to these rivers. Most channeled into not treated. Sediment samples collected selected stations along various winter summer seasons analyzed for...

The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk of arsenic lead to adults children via daily dietary intake food composites in Bangladesh was estimated. target hazard quotients (THQs), index (HI) (TR) were calculated evaluate the health from lead. Most individual contain a considerable amount highest mean concentrations found cereals (0.254 mg kg⁻¹ fw) vegetables (0.250 fw), (0.714 fish (0.326 fw). results showed THQs for both which exceeded safe limit (> 1) indicating that are main items...

Humans are exposed to ubiquitous phthalates via multiple pathways. Exposures have been estimated in some previous risk assessments Japan based on point-of-contact measurement or scenario evaluation approaches. While the Japanese national government has regulated use of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and excluded several other from its regulation them, it is unclear whether such past exposure assessment studies fully assessed total human phthalates. In present study, we measured their...
