| Resumen |
A proportionate mortality study and an industrial hygiene survey were conducted by NIOSH in the shops of several car manufacturers in the USA. A significant excess of deaths due to colon cancer and leukaemia was observed. Total dust concentrations measured in the worker's breathing zone ranged from 0.03 to 25mg/m3. The percentage of respirable dust ranged from 19 to 38%. Solvent exposure levels ranged from non-detectable to about 10% of the OSHA permissible exposure levels. Relevant recommendations for the improvement of contamination control are made (ventilation, materials, work practices, etc.). |
