Air cleanliness requirements of workplaces - Airborne dust [Hungary]
Munkahelyek levegőtisztasági követelményei - Szálló porok [in Hungarian]
This standard specifies the maximum permissible limits of mineral dust and fibre concentrations in workplace air in Hungary. It also provides a legal definition of the particulates concerned. The basic limits are (in mg/m3): respirable dusts: 0.1 (for 100% silica), 6.0 (for silica-free dust); total dust: 8.0 (when more than 20% of respirable dust is silica), 10.0 (for silica-free dust). Intermediate concentration limits are set for dust with intermediate silica content. For fibres, limits are set in fibre/cm3 - asbestos: chrysotile (1), amphiboles (not authorised); other fibres (glass, mineral, ceramic, plastic) (1). For talc dust, the limits are: asbestos-containing (1 fibre/cm3), other respirable (2.0mg/m3), other total dust (10.0mg/m3). This standard does not apply to silica-free dust with fibrogenic, toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, irritative, corrosive or allergenic properties.
