  • Title: [Assessment of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons during road paving].

    Journal: G Ital Med Lav Ergon; 2003; 25 Suppl(3):98-9. PubMed ID: 14979102.
    Abstract:
    Asphalt is a mixture of bitumen, (its fumes contain about 1% of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAH), and mineral matter. 18 Workers were investigated during road paving to assess PAH exposure by environmental air-monitoring (the 16 most relevant, according to the American Environmental Protection Agency, EPA) and biological monitoring (urinary 1-hydroxypyrene excretion). Our results show that PAH exposure in these workers is not higher than that observed in traffic policemen working in urban areas.
