The IARC establishes <em>Benzo(a)pyrene</em> (BaP) as a cause of cancer in animals and possibly in humans. The sources of BaPcan befrom vehicle’s disposal, wood burning from fireplaces, flying ash from coal-based power plants or other combustion processes. The research took place in some student of 16 Bandung JHS especially those who are in grade eight. The method that’s used is the method of Environmental Health Risk Analysis (ARKL). The value of BaP’s concentration at 10 points is equal to &lt;0,002 ppm or &lt;0,02  mg/m<sup>3</sup>. The median value of non-carcinogenic intake (CDI) for the life span duration was 0,0008 (mg/kg/day)<sup>-1</sup>, the median value of intake non-carcinogenic real time (1,8 years) duration is 6,05 x 10<sup>-5 </sup>(mg/kg/day)<sup>-1</sup>, 3 years exposure duration was 0,0001 (mg/kg/day)<sup>-1</sup>, 6 years exposure duration was 0,0002 (mg/kg/day)<sup>-1</sup>. The median value of the carcinogenic intake (LADD) is 0,0003 (mg/kg/day)<sup>-1</sup>. The median value level of risk of non carcinogenic (RQ) for the life span duration was 1,46 x 10<sup>6</sup>, RQ for real time (1,8 years) duration is 1,05 x 10<sup>5</sup>, 3 years exposure duration was 1,76 x 10<sup>5</sup>, and 6 years exposure duration was 3,52 x 10<sup>5</sup>. The value median level of carcinogenic risk (ECR) was 0,0006. The value of RQ is risk and ECR is safe. Risk management and health advisory are needed to minimize BaP exposure health risks.</p> ER -
