an evaluation of the environmental risk perception by residents living in proximity to the Solid Communal Waste Utilisation Plant (ZUSOK) in Warsaw.
a questionnaire survey of 501 respondents was conducted. All subjects have been living within a radius of 3 km from the incinerator since at least 1998. The relations between declared opinions and demographic status of the respondents (gender, age, education level, distance from dwelling place to ZUSOK, and period of residence) were examined, and the resulting associations were expressed as odds ratios (OR).
only 32% of subjects knew about incinerator construction project, and 28% of them heard about the protests which had taken place there. It was found that just 12% of respondents felt sufficiently informed about the environmental impacts of ZUSOK activities. Their anxieties concerned the considerable infiltration of harmful substances to the environment (according to 60% of subjects, significantly more frequently women and people declaring lack of sufficient information about ZUSOK) and increase of health problems in the local community by the long-term incinerator activity (by 71% of respondents, significantly more frequently by respondents with lack of sufficient information). Emission of smoke/dust and unpleasant odour were declared as the most disturbing aspects of the neighbourhood by about 50% of subjects. The respondents declaring lack of sufficient information about incinerator activity complained more frequently about its disturbances. Continuous or very frequent smelling of air contamination was found a factor significantly increasing probability of negative assessment of ZUSOK neighbourhood.
it is necessary to take some information and education actions aimed at inhabitants of the vicinity of the plants potentially increasing environmental health risk.
评估华沙固体社区垃圾利用厂（ZUSOK）附近居民对环境风险的认知。
对501名受访者进行了问卷调查。所有受试者自1998年以来一直居住在距焚化炉3公里范围内。研究了受访者声明的意见与其人口统计学状况（性别、年龄、教育水平、住所与ZUSOK的距离以及居住时间）之间的关系，并将所得关联表示为比值比（OR）。
只有32%的受试者知晓焚化炉建设项目，其中28%的人听说过那里发生的抗议活动。结果发现，只有12%的受访者认为自己对ZUSOK活动的环境影响有足够了解。他们担心有害物质大量渗入环境（60%的受试者表示如此，女性和声称对ZUSOK缺乏足够信息的人更为频繁）以及焚化炉长期运行会导致当地社区健康问题增加（71%的受访者表示如此，缺乏足够信息的受访者更为频繁）。约50%的受试者表示，烟雾/灰尘排放和难闻气味是该社区最令人困扰的方面。声称对焚化炉活动缺乏足够信息的受访者更频繁地抱怨其造成的干扰。持续或非常频繁地闻到空气污染被发现是显著增加对ZUSOK社区负面评价可能性的一个因素。
有必要针对可能增加环境健康风险的工厂附近居民采取一些信息和教育行动。
