Situation 1 -Improper ventilation! Benzene (CASRN 71-43-2 / DTXSID 3039242)Inhalation Unit Risk:2.2 x 10-6per g/m3 has been leaking in a factory and fumes have exposed a great deal of people. Individuals were exposed to an average fume concentration of 75 ug/M3 (standard deviation of 15 ug/M3) for an average of 7 hours per day (standard deviation of 1 hours), for an average of 4 days per week (standard deviation of 1 days). The population was exposed for an average of 10 years (standard deviation of 2 years) before the leak was identified and fully remediated. Calculate as a lifetime exposure with a lifetime of 80 years. calculate the adjusted air concentration and the associated cancer risk.
