Abstract

Background: Cement plants generate particulate matter (PM) across processes from raw material preparation to packaging. The presence of total suspended particulates (TSP) coming out of the stack causes a high accumulation of dust in residential areas. Human exposure to TSP could affect human health and wellbeing.

Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate concentrations of TSP and to estimate the health risks of TSP exposure through the inhalation pathway in communities surrounding a private cement industry in Maros regency, Indonesia.

Methods: Total suspended particulates were collected using a high-volume air sampler (HVAS) at five locations. Samples were taken by grab sampling for 24 hours. The SCREEN3 program was used to view the maximum range and distribution of pollutants based on the geographical, stack profiles and meteorological factors in the study area. Hazard quotient (HQ) was used to estimate non-carcinogenic risks of TSP in surrounding communities.

Results: Total suspended particulate concentrations were measured with a maximum value of 133.24 μg/m3 and a minimum value of 18.48 μg/m3. This maximum value exceeds the minimum acceptable level from Canadian National Ambient Air Quality Objectives (C-NAAQOs). The non-carcinogenic risks from the inhalation pathway were low except for location 3 (HQ>1) across all locations.

Conclusions: The cement plant may significantly contribute to total TSP concentrations in air and may potentially have adverse effects on human health. Communities near the cement plant are vulnerable to TSP exposure and measures are needed to reduce TSP in Maros regency, Indonesia.

Participant consent: Obtained.

Ethics approval: This study was approved by the Health Research Ethics Committee of Hasanuddin University with protocol number 28920093022.

Competing interests: The authors declare no competing financial interests.

印度尼西亚马洛斯县某水泥厂附近总悬浮颗粒的社区健康风险评估。
背景:水泥厂从原料制备到包装的整个过程都会产生颗粒物(PM)。从烟囱中冒出的总悬浮颗粒物(TSP)的存在导致了居民区粉尘的大量堆积。人类接触TSP可能会影响人类健康和福祉。目的:本研究旨在评估印度尼西亚马洛斯县一家私营水泥工业周围社区中总悬浮颗粒物的浓度,并估计通过吸入途径暴露于总悬浮颗粒物的健康风险。方法:采用大容量空气采样器(HVAS)在5个地点采集总悬浮颗粒物。采用抓取取样法,取样时间为24小时。使用SCREEN3程序根据研究区域的地理、层叠剖面和气象因素查看污染物的最大范围和分布。危害商(HQ)用于评估TSP在周边社区的非致癌风险。结果:测得总悬浮颗粒物浓度最大值为133.24 μg/m3,最小值为18.48 μg/m3。这个最大值超过了加拿大国家环境空气质量目标(C-NAAQOs)的最低可接受水平。除位置3 (HQ>1)外,所有位置的吸入途径非致癌风险均较低。结论:水泥厂可能对空气中总TSP浓度有显著贡献,并可能对人类健康产生不利影响。水泥厂附近的社区容易受到总悬浮颗粒物的影响,需要采取措施减少印度尼西亚马洛斯县的总悬浮颗粒物。参与者同意:已获取。伦理批准:本研究由Hasanuddin大学卫生研究伦理委员会批准,协议号28920093022。利益竞争:作者声明没有经济利益竞争。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Health and Pollution (JH&P) was initiated with funding from the European Union and World Bank and continues to be a Platinum Open Access Journal. There are no publication or viewing charges. That is, there are no charges to readers or authors. Upon peer-review and acceptance, all articles are made available online. The high-ranking editorial board is comprised of active members who participate in JH&P submissions and editorial policies. The Journal of Health and Pollution welcomes manuscripts based on original research as well as findings from re-interpretation and examination of existing data. JH&P focuses on point source pollution, related health impacts, environmental control and remediation technology. JH&P also has an interest in ambient and indoor pollution. Pollutants of particular interest include heavy metals, pesticides, radionuclides, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), air particulates (PM10 and PM2.5), and other severe and persistent toxins. JH&P emphasizes work relating directly to low and middle-income countries, however relevant work relating to high-income countries will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
