Benzene　series　(BTEX)　are　the　main　volatile　organic　pollutants　(VOCs)　emitted　by　coking　industries.　The　current　technical　guidelines　in　China　recommend　the　use　of　the　Johnson-Ettinger　(J&E)　vapor　intrusion　model　for　the　health　risk　assessment　of　VOCs　respiratory　exposure　pathways.　Although　this　model　is　simple　and　easy　to　use,　it　can　provide　conservative　estimate　in　practical　applications.　On　the　other　hand,　research　shows　that　this　problem　can　be　overcome　to　a　certain　extent　by　the　J&E-Dual　Equilibrium　Desorption　(J&E-DED)　model.　Based　on　the　survey　results　of　a　coking　plant　in　Hebei,　this　study　selected　about　30,　000　m2　of　heavily　polluted　areas　to　carry　out　a　special　survey　of　benzene　soil　gas　flux　to　conduct　a　refined　risk　assessment.　The　J&E-DED　model　and　J&E　model　were　compared　with　the　measured　soil　gas　volatilization　flux.　The　results　showed　that　based　on　the　J&E　model,　J&E-DED　model,　and　measured　soil　gas　volatilization　flux,　the　carcinogenic　health　risk　of　soil　benzene　in　the　research　area　exceeded　1.00×10-6,　which　is　unacceptable　carcinogenic　risk　to　the　human　body.　The　calculated　risk　value　of　J&E-DED　model　was　closer　to　the　risk-based　measured　soil　gas　volatilization　flux.　It　is　worth　noting　that　sandy　site　soil　provided　a　relatively　continuous　free　channel　for　the　diffusion　and　migration　of　soil　VOCs,　resulting　in　a　more　even　distribution　of　soil　gas　concentration　and　a　risk　in　the　entire　polluted　area　of　concern.　When　the　J&E-DED　model　was　used　to　assess　the　indoor　respiratory　exposure　health　risk　of　benzene,　the　sensitivity　revealed　that　soil　air　volume　ratio　in　the　filled　foundation　cracks　had　the　most　significant　impact　on　the　results　(190.6%).　Whereas,　soil　water　content-soil　porosity　and　soil　bulk　density　had　the　least　impact.　Other　parameters　also　had　obvious　effects　on　the　results.　The　research　results　show　that　under　geological　site　conditions,　the　J&E-DED　model　has　good　applicability　in　predicting　human　health　risks　of　benzene　in　the　soil.　In　addition,　it　can　overcome　to　some　extent　the　problem　of　excessive　conservatism　found　in　the　J&E　model.　©　2021,　Editorial　Board,　Research　of　Environmental　Sciences.　All　right　reserved.
