A probability risk assessment was conducted to characterize the ecotoxicity of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including benzo[a]pyrene, fluoranthene, and phenanthrene, to various species in a wastewater-irrigated area of Tianjin, China. The relative risk of these chemicals was investigated using joint risk probability distribution curves, which were generated based on the distributions of exposure and acute toxicity data. Risk at various exposure levels was discussed. The results indicated that among the three PAHs studied, the overall risk of phenanthrene was the highest, with that of benzo[a]pyrene the lowest, due mainly to their exposure concentrations. For lower exposure levels at which the percentage of species affected was less than 20%, the risk associated with benzo[a]pyrene was clearly higher than that of the other two chemicals.
