Bibliographic Details
Title: Determinants of Man-Made Mineral Fibre Hazard.
Authors: Brown, R. C.1, Moore, M.2, Maxim, L. D.3, Burley, C. G.4
Source: Annals of Occupational Hygiene. 1997 Inhaled Particles VIII, Vol. 41, p251-255. 5p.
Subjects: Synthetic fibers industry, Health risk assessment, Synthetic fiber manufacturing, Diameter, Fragmentation reactions, Air pollutants
Abstract: The article presents a research study which examines the reduction of the adverse health effects of man-made mineral fibres (MMVF). Findings reveal the importance of determining the relationship between airborne fibre concentration and product nominal diameter in factories, the potential of manufacture and composition changes to lessen fibre fragmentation, and the need to avoid finer fibres in certain workplace levels. The methods, experiments, and conclusion of the study are provided.
