Abstract |
Charleston, S.C., along with some other cities in the Southeastern Coast and Gulf Coast area, has an anomalously high incidence of deaths resulting from lung cancer-about 50 percent higher than the national average. Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and trace metals are widely suspected of being causative agents in lung cancer. A survey of BaP and trace metals in the ambient air in Charleston reveals, however, that the air concentrations are lower than the national averages. To test the view that atmospheric concentrations of BaP can readily be inferred from soil concentrations, soil samples were taken in Charleston at sites roughly corresponding to the area in which air was subject to testing in the air sampling program. From the limited data available, the Charleston soil values of BaP do not appear extraordinarily high. Thus, it seems safe to infer that the abnormally high death rate resulting from lung cancer is not due to higher-than normal exposure to the agents addressed. |
