Aremu

“…It was also revealed that the toxicity of PAHs was due to the presence of Benzo[b]fluoranthene for all the samples except for sample 4 for which the main contribution to toxicity was emission from benzo(a)pyrene, while the cancer risk assessment estimated to be 1.2 × 10−1 was far above the acceptable carcinogenic risk limit of 1 × 10−6. This study concluded that, more efforts are needed to reduce emission of PAHs from the combustion of crop residues into the ambient air otherwise, human health could be under threat especially if exposed for a long period.…”
