Abstract

Twenty-four hour personal exposures (both occupational and environmental) to benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) of 15 taxi drivers working in Genoa, Italy, were monitored in May-July 1998 (15 samplings), February 1999 (7 samplings) and June 1999 (7 samplings). The mean BaP exposures measured at these different times were 1.4 ng/m³, 1.23 ng/m³ and 1.22 ng/m³, respectively, values were significantly greater than the levels found in controls (0.16±0.2 ng/m³). Mean daily personal BaP exposures of taxi drivers were not statistically different from the mean daily airborne BaP concentrations measured by fixed samplers during the same sampling periods.
