Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Airborne fibre concentrations in a glass continuous filament factory

Notes: Sumario: Studies of the mortality of workers employed in the glass continuous filament production industry have been completed in an attempt to study any cancer risks in the industry. Exposure measurements made in these factories have shown very low respirable fibre concentrations, some of which were of man-made vitreous fibres although most were of natural non-asbestos mineral fibres. In a attempt further to investigate the exposure in these factories an analytical method based on scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDXS) was developed. The method was applied to samples collected in a glass continuous filament plantRelated records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 6, December 1992 ; p. 609-627Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Fibra de vidrio Contaminación atmosférica Control de la contaminación Muestreos SEM Métodos de análisis Otros autores: Cherrie, John W.
