Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Field comparison of personal samplers for inhalable dust

Notas: Sumario: The performance of two designs of personal inhalable fraction sampler, which have been shown to differ in laboratory wind tunnel studies, were assessed in 23 real industrial environments, relative to the collection of dust by a simulated worker. This took the form of a mobile, articulated, breathing robot which was fitted with an oral filter, and could be moved around the workplace to follow and mimic real workers. Statistical analysis of the resulting data show that if a small correction for bias is applied there is no significant difference either between the personal samplers as predictors on the real worker exposure, or in the reproductibility obtained with the two personal samplersRegistros relacionados: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 6, December 1990 ; p. 553-573Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminación atmosférica Control de la contaminación Polvo Muestreos Muestreador Ensayos Otros autores: Chalmers, C.P.
