Chemicals with risk ratios greater than or equal to 1 are
in bold.
Risk Ratios in italics are based on noncarcinogenic effects.
The symbol ug/m3 is micrograms per cubic meter,
the amount (in micrograms) of a chemical in a cubic
meter of air. This is also known as a concentration.
* For diesel particulate matter, onroad and nonroad
concentrations include a model-estimated background
concentration. |
