| Resumen |
In this Yant Memorial Lecture 1978 the author describes the situation in a foundry, and the improvements obtained with technical measures in cleaning of castings and the furnace repair shop. Discussion centres on calculation of the individual inhaled life dose of respirable silica dust (dust exposure factor, DEF, calculated from the time factor, the silica factor (silica exposure expressed as a fraction of the TLV), and lung ventilation), and its relations with the present TLV and the ideal situation, in which each individual worker needs his own silica factor or TLV, depending on how large a silica dose he has inhaled in his life, his work load, and the number of years left to retirement. |
