Contribution to the assessment of the health risk of occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS)
2012
Abstract
The aim of our study was to contribute to the evaluation of health risk assessments of combined inhalation and dermal exposure to PAHs amongst road construcion crews. 15 selected PAH was determined in occupational atmosphere and on the skin surface. Genotoxic exposure has been evaluated using chromosomal aberration of peripheral lymphocytes.
The genotoxic risk could be characterized as low.
