Estimated reduction in cancer risk due to PAH exposures if source control measures during the 2008 Beijing Olympics were sustained
Submitted by susan on Thu, 2012-06-28 15:36
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games provided a unique case study to investigate the effect of source control measures on the reduction in air pollution, and associated inhalation cancer risk, in a Chinese megacity. The authors measured 17 carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and estimated the lifetime excess inhalation cancer risk during different periods of the Beijing Olympic Games, to assess the effectiveness of source control measures in reducing PAH-induced inhalation cancer risks.
