The research was focused on lifelong exposure of an adult and a child to chromium, lead, nickel, copper and zinc. The assessment of health hazard included exposure by digestion, inhalation and skin contact.}, abstract={The hazard estimation was carried out using a method recommended by the American Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The determined hazard index values characterizing a health risk have shown that the highest hazard results from accidental unintentional intake of toxic substances.}, abstract={Skin penetration by metals is much less hazardous, whereas inhalation is least hazardous. According to the accepted scenario of human exposure, children are most at risk compared to other populations considered. The hazard index values obtained for them were the highest.}, type={artykuł}, title={Ocena narażenia środowiskowego na Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni oraz Zn obecne w pyłach miejskich = Evaluation of environmental exposure to Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni and Zn present in urban dusts}, keywords={ryzyko zdrowotne, metale ciężkie, indeks zagrożenia, health risk, heavy metals, hazard index}, }
