The municipal solid waste landfill in Novi Sad, Serbia is in its operative status from early 1980s and represents potential significant source of environmental compartments pollution and the threat to human health as a result of undeveloped waste management practice. Residues of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) as toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic chemicals were investigated in ambient air of landfill site in Novi Sad. Passive air sampling technique was used for the purpose of ambient air sampling. Total risk to the human health is calculated as a sum of individual risks for each group of substances according to the recommended United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) methodology. The overall results indicate that the landfill site in Novi Sad does not pose a relevant treat to human by inhalation of PAHs and POPs. The effect of low concentrations, non-monotonic dose response, synergistic and amplifying effects of chemical complexes must be highly respected while performing future health risk assessment.
塞尔维亚诺维萨德市的城市固体废物填埋场自 20 世纪 80 年代初开始投入使用，由于废物管理实践欠发达，它代表了对环境造成潜在重大污染和对人类健康构成威胁的重要来源。本研究调查了塞尔维亚诺维萨德市垃圾填埋场环境空气中多环芳烃（PAHs）和持久性有机污染物（POPs）等有毒、致突变、致畸和致癌化学物质的残留情况。为了进行环境空气采样，采用了被动空气采样技术。根据美国环境保护署（US EPA）推荐的方法，按照每种物质组别的个体风险计算对人类健康的总风险。总体结果表明，诺维萨德市的垃圾填埋场通过吸入 PAHs 和 POPs 对人类健康不会造成相关威胁。在进行未来健康风险评估时，必须高度重视低浓度、非单调剂量反应、化学复合物的协同和放大效应的影响。
