Short summary
This study investigated profiles of air toxics from mobile sources, stationary sources, and the operations in a port in an industrial metropolitan area in Taiwan. Six carcinogens, including benzene, formaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene, arsenic, 2,3,7,8-TCDD, and diesel particulate matter (DPM), were chosen as the target pollutants. DPM was the pollutant that posed the highest cancer risk among all six air toxics. The dominant sources of DPM were ocean-going vessels and diesel trucks.
