Benzene concentrations in the various Benzene concentrations in the various streets ranged from 2 – 10,3 streets ranged from 2 – 10,3 μμg/mg/m33 (June (June 2005 and June 2006). In many locations the 2005 and June 2006). In many locations the levels of benzene exceeded the established levels of benzene exceeded the established limit value (5 limit value (5 μμg/mg/m33 annual mean) set by the annual mean) set by the European Commission to be met by 2010.European Commission to be met by 2010.
