Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - A Comparison of exposure to airborne dust in cotton processing plants estimated from personal and workzone samples

Notes: Sumario: The concentrations of airborne dust less "fly" was measured simultaneously in the workzone and in 114 people personal breathing zone in the dusty workrooms of the two cotton spinning and one weaving mill during morning shifts on consecutive Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays of the working week. Exposure levels estimated from workzone samples correlated poorly with those measured in the personal breathing zone. Nevertheless, workzone concentrations of airborne dust less "fly" might still be reasonable index of average personal exposure in workroom where people do not normally handle cotton fibre or clothRelated records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 3, 1984 ; p. 347-352Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Polvo de algodón Contaminación atmosférica Industria textil Muestreos Estudios comparativos Otros autores: Gibbs, A.C.C.
