| Abstract | In this study concentrations of aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX-components), with special interest for benzene, plus methyl-tert-butylether (MTBE) and ethyl-tert-butylether (ETBE) were measured in air of salesrooms of gas stations and in air among gas stations. Using seven days passive sampling technique in the salesrooms, each in winter and summer, measured median concentrations of 3.8 mu g/m(3) benzene, 72.3 mu g/m(3) toluene, 6.1 mu g/m(3) ethylbenzene and 34.7 mu g/m(3) sum of xylene were given. MTBE could not be measured above LOQ (0.051.1 mu g/m(3)), ETBE showed a median of 3.3 1.1 mu g/m(3). Concentrations measured in summer lay slightly above those measured in winter, although the difference was not statistically significant. There is a weak relation between the concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons measured in salesrooms and the distance from the entrance to the nearest fuel dispenser. About 30% of the measurements in salesrooms lay above 5 mu g/m(3), the concentration that might indicate a current reference value. |
