Problem statement: There is growing concern about landfill adverse health effects from exposure to landfill emissions. Approach: Airborne dust samples from houses near Jeleeb Al-Shuyoukh landfill and control residences were analyzed for molds and bacteria and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) each month for one year. Results: The number of mold species was greater in the residences close to Jeleeb Al-Shuyoukh landfill than in the control. A number of additional VOCs irritating to the skin, eyes, or respiratory tract were also found. Conclusion: The results from this pilot study illustrated the diversity of microorganisms and VOCs present in Jeleeb Al-Shuyoukh environment and suggested that analysis of airborne dust may help assess human exposure to microorganisms and chemical compounds. In addition, a cross-sectional study was explored in Jeleeb Al-Shuyoukh and Al-Jahra residence, through a series of door-to-door survey of 451 residents. The findings of the health survey indicated a higher prevalence of dermatological, neuromuscular, respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms among people living in the area surrounding the landfill than among the control groups participants.
