Abrasive blasting with quartz sand : factors affecting the potential for incidental exposure to respirable silica / Charles D. Brantley, Parker C. Reist

Sumario: In this study fixed sampling arrays using personal respirable samplers and high volume samplers were positioned in potential down-plume positions for 10 different sandblasting worksites in a large Gulf Coast steel fabrication yard during the month of July 1991. The geometry of the worksite and the position of the workers will affect concentrations observed by orders of magnitude, in some cases leading to exposure conditions inadequately protected by the "CE" supplied-air respirators
