Abstract |
Exposure concentrations were determined for 16 carcinogenic substances in 3,576 industrial enterprises in Germany between 1989-1992. On this basis three groups of substances could be established with respect to exposure levels: 1 - no measurement exceeded the exposure limit (1,3-butadiene, 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, acrylonitrile and chloroethylene); 2 - 90% of the measurements were below the exposure limit (arsenic compounds, benzo(a)pyrene, benzene, chromium VI compounds, diantimony trioxide, nickel and its compounds); 3 - 50% of the measurements were below the limit (all other substances analyzed). There has been a significant reduction in exposure levels since the period 1981-84. Detailed summary in German, English, French and Spanish. |
