Dust was sampled in schools (indoor and outdoor) that are located in Puchuncaví and Quintero. Source apportionment analysis using the concentrations of PAHs; glucose, mannitol, sucrose, fructose; di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate; hopanes, and levoglucosan as molecular tracer compounds showed three sources of contribution. The first (46.38%) was related to incomplete combustion processes (Acy, Flu, Ant, Flt, Pyr, and BaA), a second source (20%) represented soil+ biomass burning (levoglucosan, α glucose, β glucose, mannitol, sucrose, and fructose), and a third source (10.26%) was dominated only by 27_norhopane, 27_hopane, which are related to traffic. To assess potential health risks for schoolchildren, the study calculated the benzo[a]pyrene equivalent (BaPE) toxicity and the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR). Toxicity equivalent (TEQ) results showed that the main contributor to overall toxicity in PAHs, especially in schools located in Puchuncaví, was benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), followed by benzo[α]anthracene (BaA), benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF), benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), indeno[1,2,3-cd] pyrene (IcdP), and dibenzo[a,h]anthracene (DahA). According to the calculated ILCR values, the highest cancer risk was associated with dust ingestion (both indoor and outdoor) for ∑16PAHs, ranging from 1.14 × 10−3 to 8.88 × 10−4. This was followed by dermal contact (1.27 × 10−5 to 7.27 × 10−7) and inhalation (1.22 × 10−8 to 9.99 × 10−9).The research work of Sonnia Parra was partially supported by to the Dirección de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados (VRIEA-PUCV) project 039.345/2021.
