Health risk assessment of the soil-like fraction during landfill liquidation

A health risk was assessed for workers who might be exposed to heavy metals during the sepa-ration of waste during landfill liquidation. The study concluded that the presence of Cd, Cu, and Ni in the soil-like fraction poses risks associated with non-carcinogenic effects. Additionally, Cd and Ni are associated with high carcinogenic risk. The health risk at the studied landfills is caused by inhalation exposure. Health risk assessment facilitates the identification of critical points and the timely provi-sion of safety measures
