초록
In Korea, the number of municipal and hazardous waste incinerators have been increasing since the 1980s. In addition, municipal waste incinerators (MWI) are almost always located in residential areas. Therefore, the human health risk caused by dioxin has become a growing public concern in Korea. In this report, we describe the results of study in which serum levels of PCDDs/PCDFs in a group of workers at the MWI were compared to those in a comparison group of community residents who had never worked at the MWI.
