Benzene from traffic

Preface

This report gives a summary of investigations of benzene and other aromatic compounds in air and petrol carried out since 1994. The investigations were carried out under different projects, i.e. the project "Air Pollution from Traffic in Urban Areas", conducted with support from the (Danish) National Environmental Research Programme 1992-1996 (SMP), the project "Traffic Surveillance Programme" funded by the Danish Ministry of Transportation and a project supported by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.

Parts of the air quality measurements will from January 2000 continue under the National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (In Danish: Det Landsdækkende Luftkvalitetsmåleprogram, LMP) in accordance with the new EU directives on air quality.
