Summary:

This Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value (PPRTV) assessment supports a fraction-based approach to risk assessment for mixtures of petroleum hydrocarbons U.S. EPA (2022). In this approach, total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) fractions are defined based on expected transport in the environment and analytical methods used to quantify environmental contamination by TPH mixtures. TPH components were first classified into aromatics and aliphatics, and each of these two major fractions were further separated into low, medium, and high carbon range fractions. This PPRTV assessment describes the derivation of both noncancer and cancer toxicity values for the aromatic medium carbon range fraction of TPH. The toxicity values described herein are used in the assessment of Complex Mixtures of Petroleum Hydrocarbons that is intended to replace current approaches used at TPH-contaminated sites U.S. EPA (2022).
