Table 4.

Cancer inhalation unit risk (IUR) values and excess cancer risk estimates for VOCs with carcinogenic potential.

Substance Highest Mean Concentration (µg/m3) IUR (Source) Excess Cancer Risk
Benzene 4.6 2.2 × 10−6–7.8 × 10−6 (U.S. EPA) 1 1.0 × 10−5–3.6 × 10−5
Ethylbenzene 2.9 2.5 × 10−6 (CalEPA) 7.3 × 10−6
Aggregate Risk 4.3 × 10−5

1 Represents U.S. EPA’s lower and upper bound range of the IURs.
