| Synopsis: |
1,3-Butadiene is a product of incomplete combustion resulting from natural processes and human activity. It is also an industrial chemical used primarily in the production of polymers. It enters the environment from exhaust emissions from gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles, from non-transportation fuel combustion, from biomass combustion and from industrial on-site uses. The highest atmospheric concentrations have been measured in air in cities and close to inductrial sources. In this volume, the risks to human health and the environment of this chemical are assessed. The general population is exposed to 1,3-butadiene primarily through ambient and indoor air. Tabacco smoke may also contribute significant amounts of 1,3-butadiene. The available epidemiological and toxicological data provide evidence that 1,3-butadiene is carcinogenic in humans and may also be genotoxic in humans. |
