Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomobile Spray Paint Dust and Human Health: A Multi-Site Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Effects in South-Eastern NigeriaAdindu Ihuoma Blossom, Ubouh Emmanuel Attah, Obasi Kalu Omokorie, Raimi Morufu OlalekanInformal automobile spray-painting operations release metal-laden dust, posing occupational and residential health risks. Seasonal variations, receptor-specific exposure, and metal composition influence non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic hazards, yet data from South-Eastern Nigeria remain limited. This study quantified heavy-metal exposure in automobile spray-paint dust, assessed receptor-specific non-carcinogenic (HI) and carcinogenic (ILCR) risks, examined seasonal and metal-specific trends, and evaluated source attribution to inform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,555 accessesView PDFCite
