Abstract

HAZARD FROM PAH COMPOUNDS IN THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT DURING DEMOLITION OF POST-MINING WASTE DUMPSAbstract. The paper presents results of preliminary investigation concerning emission of organic pollution to the atmospheric air, focusing on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from a post-mining waste dump. The goal of the research was to determine emission quantity from a burning mine-waste dump and to define exposure of workers employed in disassembly work. Gaseous samples were collected using the PUF (polyurethane foam) sampling cartridges with quartz filters and the aspirator in three different sample points during the extinguishing and prevention work on the mine-waste dumping ground located in Ruda OEl¹ska (Upper Silesia, Poland). The research was the basis for a preliminary assessment of the exposure (professional hazard and lifelong exposure) of workers involved in the mine-waste dump disassembly process.
