Ambient air measurement showed that incense burning generates significantly higher levels of airborne benzene (P < 0.01), 1,3-
butadiene (P < 0.001) and total PAHs (P < 0.01) inside the temples, compared to those of the control workplace. Temple workers
were exposed to relatively high levels of benzene (45.90 g/m3) 1,3-butadiene (11.29 g/m3) and PAHs (19.56 ng/m3),
