Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban surface dust of Guangzhou, China: Status, sources and human health risk assessment
Wei Wang,Min juan Huang,Yuan Kang,Hong-Sheng Wang,Anna Oi Wah Leung,Kwai Chung Cheung,Ming Hung Wong,Ming Hung Wong +7 more
TL;DR: Ninety-six urban surface dust samples collected from Guangzhou, a typical urban center in South China, were analyzed for PAHs, and four hotspots with highest ∑PAHs were identified via kriging prediction mapping, representing the highly-urbanized regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentration and transportation of heavy metals in vegetables and risk assessment of human exposure to bioaccessible heavy metals in soil near a waste-incinerator site, South China.
TL;DR: Heavy metal concentrations in soil were greater than those in aerial parts of vegetables and roots, which indicated that vegetables bioaccumulated low amount of heavy metals from soil, and foliar uptake may be an important pathway of heavy metal from the environment to vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer risk assessments of Hong Kong soils contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Yu Bon Man,Yuan Kang,Hong-Sheng Wang,Hong-Sheng Wang,Winifred Ka Yan Lau,Hui Li,Xiao-Lin Sun,John P. Giesy,Ka Lai Chow,Ming Hung Wong,Ming Hung Wong +10 more
TL;DR: Evaluated soils from 12 different land use types indicated a moderate potential for cancerous development and CDW soil possessed a higher carcinogenic risk based on PAH concentrations, while bioaccessible PAHs content in soil samples from CDW were classified as low cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in indoor dust and human hair
TL;DR: In this paper, chemical analyses showed that the most abundant BDE congeners found were BDE-209 in both workplace dust and home dust, followed by BDE 99 and BDE 47.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Assessment of Human Exposure to Bioaccessible Phthalate Esters via Indoor Dust around the Pearl River Delta
TL;DR: Workplace dust and settled house dust samples from Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, the three major cities scattered around the Pearl River Delta, indicated that indoor dust around PRD showed similar phthalate esters patterns of composition.
