Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Determinants of airbone fiber size in the glass fiber production industry

Notes: Size distributions of airborne fiber exposures should be characterized for studies of respiratory disease because size determines the region of the lung where a fiber will deposit and its ability to produce toxic effects in cells. Yet fiber size is not measured precisely with standard air sampling methods. Specific fiber dimensions hypothesized to have biologic activity have been proposed, but these have not been evaluated in epidemiologic studies because there has not been a way to account for fiber size in historical air monitoring dataRelated records: En: Journal of occupational and environmental hygiene. - Cincinnati, Ohio : American Industrial Hygiene Association : American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. - Vol. 2, nº 1, January 2005 ; p. 19-28Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Agentes contaminantes Métodos de análisis Man-made mineral fibres Man-made vitreous fibres Fibras sintéticas Calidad del aire Fibras minerales artificiales Toxicología Procesos industriales Otros autores: Quinn, Margaret M.
