The analysis of the environmental risk perception by residents living in the vicinity of the Solid Communal Waste Utilisation Plant (ZUSOK) in Warsaw. The study was to reveal the factors related to perception the incinerator as a cause of frequent illnesses in the families and to intention of changing the place of residence because of the plant's neighbourhood.
questionnaire survey of 501 respondents, who have been living in the radius of 3km from the incinerator since at least 2 years prior to its activation. The multiple logistic regression method was applied to indentify demographic factors and opinions concerning the environment and incinerator activity associated with the aforementioned declarations.
44% of respondents with frequent illnesses in the family claimed that their problems may be caused by incinerator activity. This declaration is significantly negatively related to: older age (45 years or more) combined with period of residence in the district longer than 40 years (OR=0.4) and positively related to: believes that health problems in community would increase in the course of incinerator activity (OR=7.3), to continuous/very frequent smelling of unpleasant odour in the air (OR=2.8) and considering the odour as a serious disturbance caused by incinerator' (OR=2.8). About 28% of respondents would change the place of residence because of the incinerator's vicinity. The frequency of this declaration increases with: shorter distance between residence and plant (OR=2.0), negative attitude towards the idea of incinerator construction (OR=2.9), opinion that ZUSOK emits to environment large quantities of harmful substances (OR=2.5), health consequences will increase in the course of incinerator activity (OR=3.1), continuous/very frequent smelling smoke in the breathing air (OR=2.6), complaining about the transport of ashes from the incinerator (OR=2.3). People older than 45 years and living in the district more then 40 years significantly less frequent declare possibility of move (OR=0.5).
Risk perception reduction necessitates taking some educational actions for inhabitants and verifying their complaints about quality of air.
分析华沙固体城市垃圾处理厂（ZUSOK）附近居民对环境风险的认知。该研究旨在揭示与将焚烧炉视为家庭中频繁患病原因的认知以及因工厂周边环境而打算更换居住地相关的因素。
对501名受访者进行问卷调查，这些受访者自焚烧炉启用前至少两年起就居住在距离焚烧炉3公里范围内。采用多元逻辑回归方法来确定与上述声明相关的人口统计学因素以及对环境和焚烧炉活动的看法。
44%的家庭中频繁患病的受访者声称他们的问题可能是由焚烧炉活动引起的。这一声明与以下因素显著负相关：年龄较大（45岁及以上）且在该地区居住时间超过40年（OR = 0.4），与以下因素显著正相关：认为社区中的健康问题会在焚烧炉活动过程中增加（OR = 7.3）、持续/非常频繁闻到空气中有难闻气味（OR = 2.8）以及将该气味视为焚烧炉造成的严重干扰（OR = 2.8）。约28%的受访者会因焚烧炉周边环境而更换居住地。这一声明的频率随着以下因素增加：居住地与工厂之间的距离较短（OR = 2.0）、对焚烧炉建设想法的负面态度（OR = 2.9）、认为ZUSOK向环境中排放大量有害物质（OR = 2.5）、健康后果会在焚烧炉活动过程中增加（OR = 3.1）、持续/非常频繁闻到呼吸空气中有烟雾（OR = 2.6）、抱怨焚烧炉的灰烬运输（OR = 2.3）。45岁以上且在该地区居住超过40年的人宣称搬家可能性的频率显著较低（OR = 0.5）。
降低风险认知需要对居民采取一些教育行动，并核实他们对空气质量的投诉。
