  • The International Agency for Research on Cancer recently classified straight-run bitumens and associated emissions during road paving as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), owing to potential exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. We examine existing chemistry, exposure, epidemiology, and animal toxicity data to explore quantitative cancer risk implications for paving workers exposed to asphalt emissions from the data used in identifying this qualitative hazard. Epidemiology studies show no consistent cancer risk elevation. One skin-painting mouse study of paving asphalt emission condensate found a single tumor at only the highest tested dose, as did one rat inhalation study. These studies were used to develop an upper bound on possible carcinogenic potency of emissions that are inhaled or dermally deposited. Extending earlier work on roofing asphalt, we conducted time-to-tumor modeling using the dose-time-response shape for several dose levels of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) in concurrent bioassay controls to infer presumed parallel dose-time-response curves for paving-asphalt-emission condensate. In addition, we developed a scientific rationale, based on general scaling considerations and on dermal uptake, for the chosen means to scale observed dermal cancer potencies in mice to apply to dermal exposures in humans. The results indicate that paving asphalt emissions have a reduced dermal cancer potency compared to roofing asphalt, consistent with the lower levels of the multi-ringed PAHs implicated in cancer risks. Based on existing occupational exposure studies, cancer risks to pavers from both dermal and inhalation exposure to asphalt emissions is within a range typically acceptable within regulatory frameworks.
