V originále

The main topic of this study was human health risk assessment of defined inhalation exposurescenario in selected cattle and pig farms in south Moravia (Czech Republic). This exceptionalevaluation of potential risks for farms manipulators was the main contribution of this study.Possible both human health risks, non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic (according to US EPAHuman health risk assessment methodology), for feeders and other workers exposed to pollutedindoor air in the farm stables were quantified in the selected pig and cattle farms with significantlyincreased concentrations mainly of carcinogenic PAHs and PCBs in the indoor air. No non-carcinogenic risks were determined in any of the localities, but also increased carcinogenic riskswere observed. The highest carcinogenic health risk was found in the cattle stable (MAX-IECR=8.0810-6), the lowest one in the pig stable (MIN-IECR= 2.5710-6). Carcinogenic risk values in thefarms under study were not extremely high, but those were approximately twice higher thanamedian value of the risk determined for research workers from KoeticeIECR = 5.9610-7(years1996 1999), Central European background monitoring station of EMEP.
