To assess the pollution levels, characteristics, and the pollution sources and occupational inhalation exposure of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans(PCDD/Fs)in the workshops,ambient air samples in different types of incinerators of two municipal solid waste incinerators(MSWI) were collected and analyzed. The results showed that ① The I-TEQ concentration ranged from 0.034-2.152 pg·min the two waste incineration plants, and the most sites' I-TEQ exceeded the ambient air quality standard. Besides, the I-TEQ concentration behind the incineration plant was higher than others. ② The dioxins in incineration plant were dominated by OCDD and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD. For MSWI A, the flue gas and the fly ash had major effect on PCDD/Fs, while the dioxins pollution in MSWI B was only affected by the fly ash. ③ Occupational inhalation exposure of PCDD/Fs was 0.01-1.10 pg·(kg·d) in incineration plant, some occupational inhalation exposure values exceeded the evaluation standard, and the areas behind the incinerators were evaluated to have a high exposure risk.
