美国环境保护署人类健康风险评估方法在波兰上西里西亚Piekary Slaskie镇的废弃工业厂址Warynski冶炼厂的布朗菲尔德示范项目中得到了应用。HRA包括基线风险评估（BRA）和基于风险的初步补救目标（RBPRGs）的制定。HRA侧重于被废物覆盖的表面区域，并对其可能对人类构成的潜在风险进行了评估。根据WSS废弃物化学成分的档案数据，提出了镉、铜、铁、锰、铅和锌作为WSS潜在关注污染物（COPCs）。以确定未来的土地使用模式。对工业(I)和娱乐（II）暴露情景进行了假设和评估。所有COPCs的综合危害指数在情景1为3.1E+00，在情景2为3.2E+00。在与吸入途径相关的潜在致癌风险方面，只有镉是一个因素，在情景一和情景二中，其风险分别为1.60 e -06和2.60 e -07。BRA结果表明，WSS的潜在健康风险主要与废物接触镉（工业和娱乐情景）和铅（工业情景）有关。工业情景下，镉和铅的RBPRGs分别为1.17E+03和1.62E+03 mg/kg。休闲情景下镉的RBPRG为1.18E+03 mg/kg。在这两种情况下，BRA和rbc的结果是可比较的，因此不可能根据这些结果来优先考虑WSS的土地利用模式。在选择未来土地用途模式或合适的重建方案时，在决策过程中会有不同的因素，例如社会、市场需要、重建行动的技术可行性和成本，或当地社区的接受程度。(C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.版权所有。
United States Environmental Protection Agency methodologies for human health risk assessment (HRA) were applied in a Brownfields Demonstration Project on the Warynski smelter site (WSS), an abandoned industrial site at Piekary Slaskie town, Upper Silesia, Poland. The HRA included the baseline risk assessment (BRA) and the development of risk-based preliminary remedial goals (RBPRGs). The HRA focused on surface area covered with waste materials, which were evaluated with regard to the potential risks they may pose to humans. Cadmium, copper, iron, manganese, lead, and zinc were proposed as the contaminants of potential concern (COPCs) at WSS based on archive data on chemical composition of waste located on WSS. For the defined future land use patterns. the industrial (I) and recreational (II) exposure scenarios were assumed and evaluated.The combined hazard index for all COPCs was 3.1E+00 for Scenario I and 3.2E+00 for Scenario II. Regarding potential carcinogenic risks associated with the inhalation route, only cadmium was a contributor, with risks of 1.6E-06 and 2.6E-07 for Scenario I and Scenario II, respectively.The results of the BRA indicated that the potential health risks at WSS were mainly associated with waste material exposure to cadmium (industrial and recreational scenarios) and lead (industrial scenario).RBPRGs calculated under the industrial scenario were 1.17E+03 and 1.62E+03 mg/kg for cadmium and lead, respectively. The RBPRG for cadmium was 1.18E+03 mg/kg under the recreational scenario.The BRA results, as well as RBCs, are comparable for both scenarios, so it is impossible to prioritize land use patterns for WSS based on these results. For choosing a future land use pattern or an appropriate redevelopment option, different factors would be decisive in the decision-making process, e.g., social, market needs, technical feasibility and costs of redevelopment actions or acceptance of local community.
