C103 OUTDOOR AIR POLLUTION: EPIDEMIOLOGY AND MECHANISMS: Lung Cancer Risk Due To Pm And Pm-Bound Pahs Exposure From Barbecues Powered By Gas, Lump Charcoal And Charcoal Briquettes

[...]a probabilistic risk model was developed to assess the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) faced by people exposed by breathing to carcinogenic PAHs. The inhalation-ILCR followed a lognormal distribution with a geometric mean of 5.57×10-5 in case of exposure to PM2.5-bound PAHs emitted by u...

Description
Summary:[...]a probabilistic risk model was developed to assess the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) faced by people exposed by breathing to carcinogenic PAHs. The inhalation-ILCR followed a lognormal distribution with a geometric mean of 5.57×10-5 in case of exposure to PM2.5-bound PAHs emitted by unloaded gas grill and even 5.77×10-1 when grilling food above the charcoal briquettes.
