    The People Project
    The PEOPLE project is a study into how people are exposed to the cancer-causing agent benzene, which is commonly found in both indoor and outdoor air. The main sources include petrol fumes, and it is also one of the many toxic chemicals associated with tobacco smoke.

    The project will run in Dublin on the 28th April 2004, and is being carried out by the Dublin Institute of Technology and Dublin City Council, with support from the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. Dublin City Council involvement in this project s is one element of its commitment to the Green Dublin Initiative.

    How can you get involved?
    We need the people of Dublin to help us by volunteering to wear a monitoring badge on the PEOPLE project day on the 28th April 2004.
    You can volunteer by:
    • Telephoning 4024717 and answering a confidential questionnaire;
    • or ring us and we will post the questionnaire to you;
    • or you can download the questionnaire from the link below and fill it in a return it;
    • or pick up a questionnaire at your local Dublin City Council Library.

    If selected we will ask you to wear a monitoring badge. We will deliver the badge to you, show you how it has to be worn, and arrange for its collection afterwards.Ongoing monitoring in outdoor air by Dublin City Council shows that levels of benzene are within the European Union's safety limits. The PEOPLE project will raise public awareness of the importance that personal choice and behaviour can have on a person's exposure to benzene.
