This approach to estimating relative potency is considered to offer several advantages over those reported previously by, for example, Thorslund and Charnley (1988) and Slooff et al.
BaP = benzo[a]pyrène; BbF = benzo[b]fluoranthène; BjF = benzo[j]fluoranthène; BkF = benzo[k]fluoranthène; IND = indéno[1,2,3-cd]pyrène 2. ng d'équivalent de BaP/m3 = concentration moyenne dans l'air ambiant (ng/m3) x pouvoir cancérogène relatif 3.
