Employees of household waste incineration plants (UIOM) are exposed to multiple chemical substances that can pose a risk to their health. The studies carried out find increases in certain toxic chemicals (heavy metals, dioxins), in the biological fluids of employees (blood, urine), in particular before the 2000s Another study conducted by Tait finds potential organic alterations.The investigators wish to complete the dissertation work with, in particular, an analysis of the quantitative elements of the exposure assessment (metrologies and biometrologies)
The aim of the study is to evaluate the recorded chemical exposures of certain employees of a household waste incineration plant (UIOM) in order to deduce the risk to their health.
