Description
Ambient air quality objectives are established as part of the Alberta air quality management system. The purpose of this assessment report was to provide a review of scientific and technical information to assist in evaluating the basis and background for an ambient air quality objective for ethylbenzene. Ethylbenzene is a clear, colourless, volatile liquid under standard conditions. It is a flammable liquid and is combustible at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure. Ethylbenzene is primarily used as a precursor in the production of styrene and cellulose acetate, but is found in a large number of industrial, commercial and consumer products. Ethylbenzene is a naturally occurring component of crude oil. It is formed during combustion of organic materials; thus, forest, grass and other biomass fires will release ethylbenzene to the atmosphere.
