Title Sorption and ion exchange properties of respirable dust particles in foundries
Original title Sorptions- und Ionenaustausch-Eigenschaften lungengängiger Staubanteile von Giesserei-Arbeitsplätzen [in German]
Bibliographic information Feb. 1980, Vol.40, No.2, p.58-61. Illus. 6 ref.
Abstract Surface activity of respirable dust deposited in the lungs can have an influence on the pathogenesis of cancer. The morphology and results of potentiometric analysis of cast iron and steel foundry dust are reported. In contrast to results of other studies, the dust had no selectivity for ion exchange. Organic foundry sand additives can affect the results.
