Abstract:A model was constructed to estimate cancer risks associated with PM 10 -bound polycydic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from Kuwait oil lakes. The design of the risk model was based on a conceptual "chain of events" leading from levels of PAH compounds in oil lakes, erosion of oil dust and input into the atmosphere, to contaminant concentration in air, to actual human exposure in residential areas. Uncertainties in the "chain of events" model were addressed using Monte Carlo techniques. To identify the exposure d… Show more
