Título Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Ontario foundry environments
Información bibliográfica 1982, Vol.25, No.1, p.17-25. 26 ref.
Resumen 10 foundries were studied, both personal and location air samples being taken. They were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. High concentrations of 3 carcinogenic groups of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) had a significant association with poor general ventilation and the winter season. Moulders, casters and cranemen were exposed to a high PAH concentration in the total suspended particulate, but the association was not statistically significant. Airborne metal concentrations were below threshold limits.
