Benzene releases from gasoline stations - Implications for human health: Uncertainties in evaluating risk

Uncertainties in evaluating the risk to human health: Recent Canadian benzene concentrations based on monitoring data at or near gasoline station operations were not available. Estimates of benzene concentrations emitted from gasoline stations were based on modelled values of total evaporative losses, which were then used with air dispersion models to estimate the benzene exposure concentrations for residents living within the vicinity of gasoline stations. Modelling inherently includes uncertainties relating to the assumptions, input data and modelling tools used.
