Abstract

The local impacts of construction site activity should be taken into account in order to properly address the risks to human health, particularly within vulnerable and sensitive urban areas. The paper presents a particulate matter (PM10) exposure assessment during a construction project in a mixed-use area including medical center, an elementary school, sports centers, and residential houses. The average PM10 concentration modeled was 171.25 µg/m³, using the EMEP/EEA Tier 1 methodology. Risk assessment was based on dose-response functions and Time-Weighted Average (TWA), Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL) and the Air Quality Index (AQI) value. Risk elements are highly expressed, especially for certain groups: children, patients, and residents. The research revealed rapid need for application of effective dust control measures that will avert the PM10 emission impact on workers carrying out the project and people in the vicinity of the construction site.
