Objectives: This study estimated the emission quantity of benzo(a)pyrene(BaP) produced by fuel combustion in the Seosan area, and analyzed the uncertainty regarding the emissions.
Methods: It was based on data from a national agency and from public institutions. Emissions were estimated by using national-level guidelines. The total estimated emissions were analyzed by performing Monte Carlo analysis.
Results: The full emission quantity of BaP which was discharged by fuel combustion in the Seosan area stood at 1,194.79 g/yr. The point source emissions came to 184.16 g/yr (95% CI; 158.40-209.39). The line source emissions reached 315.33 g/yr (95% CI; 284.99-344.03). The area source emissions accounted for 695.31 g/yr (95% CI; 605.10-793.88). Chemical and compound manufacturing was the highest with 639.13 g/yr (95% CI; 542.95-728.24) in terms of emissions and oil refinery emissions were high with 153.10 g/yr (95% CI; 129.19~177.46). It was found in the Seosan area that the major source of BaP is the manufacturing of chemicals and chemical products.
Conclusion: The emission quantity of BaP which was discharged by the fuel combustion in Seosan area reached 1,194.79 g/yr. Research needs to be continued for the definite estimation of emission of BaP henceforth.
