Human health risk assessment methodology), for feeders and other workers exposed to polluted indoor air in the farm stables were quantified in the selected pig and cattle farms with significantly increased concentrations mainly of carcinogenic PAHs and PCBs in the indoor air
Nowadays a major concern is focused on organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs)
Summary
Site description For the study 3 swine and 2 cattle farms were selected. They were located in the Hodonín District (eastern part of the Czech Republic) that belongs among agricultural regions of the Czech Republic. Air samplers were placed in the middle of a pig fattening hall No 7 (100·15·2.5 meters). The hall, where 1300 pigs were housed, was aerated with 32 air blowers and open small windows. 3. L3 (locality 3) was located in the cattle farm in Nesyt (ZD Mikulãice) situated in a distance of 1.5 km from a power-station Hodonín. The house was aerated with 7 vacuum ventilation blowers, 14 windows, 4 run gates and 3 entrance gates. 5. L5 (locality 5) was located in a pig farm in Terezín (ZEMAS âejã). Air samplers were placed in the middle of the hall No 1 (70·8·2.8 meters). The hall was aerated with 6 air blowers, roof ventilation flaps, small windows and entrance gates. Besides indoor air samples collected inside farm buildings, reference outdoor samples were collected in parallel on two localities. Both of localities were affected by a traffic (tractors, lorries and other vehicles) at the farms
