another toxic air incident

Air Serbia, and A330. Sorry, I don't have the flight number, or exact date. My brother was on board last week on a flight to Belgrade from JFK. He is a Dr. and responded to a child in the back who passed out from exhaust fumes during ground operations. THey were already at climbout before his response.
He reported a strong exhaust smell in cabin pre taxi.
So, what is a likely cause? APU with cargo door open and an unfavorible wind direction?
