Type of measurement: other: monitoring in down town street canyons.
Medium: air
Result: The following benzene concentrations were reported without
mentioning time and place of meassurement and refer only to
"down town street canyons":
Annual average: 15 – 35 µg/m**3,
98 percentile: 46 µg/m**3,
30–min maximum: 110 µg/m**3.

for the following days (place of monitoring: down town
Frankfurt/Main; results in µg/m**3):
