本研究的目的是监测和目前的城市垃圾焚烧厂（MWI），谁是更容易受到环境污染的地区附近的居民的血液中的重金属浓度。我们还试图比较和分析居民的感知环境污染的影响因素之一，血液中的重金属浓度使用的调查有关的感知损害的设施。由于血液中的重金属含量不仅会受到当地环境污染的影响，还会受到个人和职业因素的影响，因此需要对血液中的重金属含量进行验证和持续监测。根据《废物处理法》，居住在首尔MWI 300 m范围内的居民被认为受到间接影响。从2006年到2009年，对居住在MWI 300米范围内的841名居民进行了调查。对841名被调查居民和105名参考地区居民的血液中重金属（铅、镉和汞）浓度进行了测定。此外，城市垃圾焚烧炉造成的损害的感知进行了调查，使用从1到5分的李克特量表。血液中的重金属浓度的测量表明，铅，镉和汞的平均浓度分别为43.1，1.7和1.3微克/升。在城市垃圾焚烧厂附近居住时间最长的受试者的血液中铅和镉的水平略高。与环境部在国内的调查结果相比，铅和镉的浓度略高，汞的浓度略低。总体而言，血液中重金属水平的分布在不同年龄组之间没有显著差异。此外，对城市垃圾焚烧炉的感知损害的调查表明，受试者。
The purpose of this study was to monitor and present the heavy metal concentrations in the blood of residents of areas near municipal waste incinerators (MWIs), who are more prone to environmental pollution. We also sought to compare and analyze the residents' perception of environmental pollution as one of the factors affecting heavy metal concentrations in the blood using a survey about the perceived damage caused by the facilities. Since heavy metal levels in the blood can be affected not only by local environmental pollution but also by personal and occupational factors, heavy metal levels in the blood need to be verified and consistently monitored.Residents who live within 300 m of MWIs in Seoul are acknowledged to be under indirect influence according to the Waste Disposal Act. A survey was given to 841 residents living within 300 m of a MWI from 2006 to 2009. The concentrations of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, and mercury) in the blood were measured in the 841 surveyed residents and in 105 residents in reference areas. Additionally, the perception of the damage caused by municipal waste incinerators was investigated using scores from 1 to 5 on a Likert scale.The measurements of the heavy metal concentrations in the blood showed that the mean concentrations of lead, cadmium, and mercury were 43.1, 1.7, and 1.3 ug/L, respectively. The blood levels of lead and cadmium were slightly higher in the group of the subjects who had resided the longest near the municipal waste incinerators. When compared with the domestic investigation by the Ministry of Environment, the concentrations of lead and cadmium were a little higher, while that of mercury was a little lower. Overall, there was no significant difference in the distribution of heavy metal levels in the blood among age groups. Additionally, the investigation of the perceived damage from municipal waste incinerators showed that the subjects.
