Multimedia Approach to Determination of Environmental Exposure Limits From the Aspect of Impact on the Health of Sportsmen
Veljko Đukić, Cvijetin Živanović
Abstract: 
Weaknesses of the current monomedium approach to determination of environmental exposure limits (air, water, food), from the aspect of impact on the health of sportsmen were analyzed. Applying the example of mercury pollution in two geographical areas, one could find inconsistency and inefficiency of the assessment of the sportsmen vulnerability if the exposure limits were made in the proceeding for each medium separately, while in the example of pollution of air, water and food with phenol it is proven that different limit concentration may be applied in different area for the same elements in the same medium applying the multimedia approach to determination of the limit values.
Keywords:
