Simulation of past exposure in slag wool production / B. Fallentin and O. Kamstrup

Sumario: A survey of the working conditions at a Danish slag wool production factory during the early technological phase in the 1940s is presented. The aim was measure exposure to air pollutants other than fibres. Such exposure might have confounded a possible association between lung cancer and exposure to fibres, in the early technological phase of slag wool production. The simulation experiment demonstrated exposure to PAH, a known lung carcinogen
