- Abstract: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in air were measured in a municipality where sugarcane plantations are extensive, atthree sites, one in the city center and two in rural localities. Twenty-four-hour sampling was done using PS1 PUF samplers fromAndersen Instruments Inc., at least 1 day per month per site, from June 2009 to October 2009. The chemical analyses wereperformed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for the 16 most toxic PAHs. The incremental lifetime cancer risk(ILTR) by inhalation was determined by the Monte Carlo method for the urban population using Crystal Ball software. The totalconcentration of the 16 PAHs at all sites varied from 6.2 to 65.7 ng m 3, with an average of 25.9 18.2 ng m 3. The averageconcentrations per site were 14.1 13.0 ng m 3at rural site B, 20.7 11.5 ng m 3at rural site A, and 36.1 22.7 ng m 3at thecentral site. The cancer risk for infants, children, and adults was approximately 14%, 25%, and 61% of the total IRLT, respectively.The mean (95% upper probability limit [95% UPL]) values were 1.2 10 7(2.2 10 7) for infants, 2.2 10 7(4.1 10 7) forchildren, and 8.9 10 7(1.1 10 6) for adults. Although the three most abundant PAHs found were phenanthrene, fluoranthene,and pyrene, the three most important contributions to the incremental risk of cancer came from benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, and naphthalene. Compared with the risks in big cities such as São Paulo, this would be low, but not negligible.Analysis of ratios of PAHs according to the literature showed that vehicle exhaust and biomass burning, including sugarcaneburning, seem to be the most important contributors to PAH concentrations in the central area of Araraquara City.Implications:The growth of biofuel use worldwide, especially ethanol, together with preharvesting burning practice, is cause ofconcern with regard to possible health effects, due to increased air pollution levels in
