This study aimed to assess the health risk associated with the inhalation of air pollutants including VOCs and heavy metals for workers at waste incinerator site in the South of Thailand. Air samples were collected and analyzed followed by NIOSH standard method, air samples were collected for 8 hours continuously. The concentration of heavy metal; Hg, Cd, Pb, Mn, Ni were very low while mean concentrations of VOCs; benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and styrene were determined as 0.080, <0.001, 0.031, 0.043, and <0.001 mg/m3 respectively. Health risk assessment was employed to evaluate the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects. The cancer risk for benzene exposure was estimated to be 1.26 x 10-5 that is higher than the acceptable risk level of 1 x 10-6. Non-carcinogenic risk (Hazard Quotients; HQ) for toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes and styrene was at acceptable level. Thus, workers in this plant were at risk to health effects associated with benzene via inhalation exposure. Health promotion and risk communication should be given to them in appropriated way.
