“…Studies from regions like South Africa and Turkey indicate that the health risks posed by exposure to BTEX are all within acceptable levels [70,71]; Hedayatzade et al discovered a non-carcinogenic risk value of 5.75 for BTEX in the Ahvaz region of Iran, which is significantly higher than the standard value of 1, and the carcinogenic risk levels of benzene are considered acceptable [72]. Khoshakhlagh et al conducted a health risk assessment for BTEX in a composite manufacturing plant [73]. The results showed that the non-carcinogenic risk values for benzene, ethylbenzene and xylene were 46.00, 6.96, and 22.4 times higher than the threshold set by the USEPA.…”

“…The water produced by gas industries contains high amounts of low-molecularweight aromatic hydrocarbons, including saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatics, organic acids, phenols, toluene, xylenes, and volatiles [10][11][12][13] . Notably, xylenes are one of the potentially hazardous chemicals and pose a significant threat to human health [14,15] . The excessive health risks caused by the xylene isomers are well documented in the recent literature [16][17][18] .…”

“…Risk assessment is a methodology that allows estimating the risk level which living beings are exposed according to possible exposure settings. Due to the VOCs persistence in urban areas, several authors have suggested that the characterization of pollutants and spatial representation should be accompanied by risk assessment studies, based on toxicological characteristics of polluting chemical compounds [28][29][30][31][32].…”
