We measured the concentrations of heavy metals and VOCs in PM2.5 in five areas with dense population around the Sinpyeong\u2013Jangrim Industrial Complex. A health risk assessment was conducted, and the spatial risk distribution for the entire Saha-gu area was predicted using inverse distance weighting (IDW). Our results indicated that the carcinogens benzene, As, and Cr6+, and the non-carcinogen m,p-xylene, have the potential to adversely affect health. In particular, As was found to have the potential to express health effects at all measurement points. Additionally, based on the IDW results, the minimum values of benzene, arsenic, and m,p-xylene exceeded the threshold level, potentially affecting the health of residents across the entire Saha-gu area. In contrast, Cr6+ could potentially impact health only in some parts of Saha-gu as only its maximum value exceeded the threshold level. We demonstrated the importance of reducing air pollutant emissions from general industrial complexes. Our results will be useful in establishing more systematic mitigation measures to protect the health of residents near the Sinpyeong\u2013Jangrim Industrial Complex and developing air pollutant management systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxics12090682","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,20]],"date-time":"2024-09-20T04:31:23Z","timestamp":1726806683000},"page":"682","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Health Risk Assessment of Residents\u2019 Exposure to Air Pollutants around the Sinpyeong\u2013Jangrim Industrial Complex in Busan"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8455-3442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji-Yun","family":"Jung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Seokyeong University, Seoul 02713, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jong-Won","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intelligent Machinery & Parts Center, Busan Technopark, Busan 46742, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tae-Woo","family":"Koo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intelligent Machinery & Parts Center, Busan Technopark, Busan 46742, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joon-Young","family":"Heo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical Analysis Center, Korea Conformity Laboratories, Seoul 08503, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ye-Seul","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical Analysis Center, Korea Conformity Laboratories, Seoul 08503, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2276-2463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheol-Min","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Seokyeong University, Seoul 02713, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"National Institute of Chemical Safety (2021). 2021 Chemical Emissions Survey Results."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"131","article-title":"Exposure to PAHs and VOCs in Residents near the SinpyeongJangrim Industrial Complex","volume":"47","author":"Yoon","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
