| Abstract |
This method for the determination of hazardous substances describes an elemental marker method for measurement of personal exposure of metalworking machine operators to airborne water-mix metalworking fluid, using flame atomic absorption spectrometry or inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. The sampling time for which the method is suitable is dependent on the sensitivity of the analytical technique used for measurement of the marker element, the concentration of the marker element in the machine sump fluid and the fluid dilution. A sampling time in the range of two to eight hours is recommended when boron or potassium is used as marker element, and eight hours is recommended when sodium is used as marker element. |
