Abstract

Background and aims: A human health RISK ASSESSMENT is the process to estimate the nature and probability of adverse health effects in human who may be exposed to chemicals in contaminated workplaces, now or in the future. The objective of this study is to compare RISK ASSESSMENT of carcinogen hydrocarbons of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method and Human Resource of Malasia method.Methods: The chemical compounds were benzene, epiclorohydrine, trichloroethylene, styrene, ethyl benzene and 1, 3-butadiene, that were emitted in workplaces and have carcinogenity risk therefore were considered for risk calculation in this study.The analytical procedure was based on method number 1501 and 2549 of National Institute Occupational Safety and Health, (NIOSH 1501 and 2549). Samples were analysed with gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The EPA method and Humun resources of Malasia were compared for health RISK ASSESSMENT of workers that exposed to carcinogen compounds in petrochemical complex.Results: The lifetime cancer risk in EPA method was compared to results of Humun Resources of Malasia. The results of EPA method showed that carcinogen risk for benzene and trichloroethylene in all petrochemical complexes and epiclorohydrine and ethyl benzene in most of complex were more than values recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) but the carcinogen risk for these compounds were probability risk according the Humun Resources of Malasia method.Conclusion: The EPA health RISK ASSESSMENT emphasize on decrease of compounds in ambient air as they have not any hazardous on humun health and environment and methods confirm by Word Health Organization. The results of Humun Resources of Malasia method had not compatibility with EPA method.
