STF-Report Nr.2-73, Staubforschungsinstitut des Hauptverbandes der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften, Langwartweg 103, 53 Bonn 1, Germany (Fed.Rep.), 1973. 27p. Illus. 9 ref. |
| Abstract |
This report of a study on industrial hygiene conditions in storage battery factories is prefaced by a description of the manufacturing process involved. In 3 years the Dust Research Institute took 451 air samples in 16 factories. The lead levels monitored and the resuts of a statistical analysis for each production stage are summarised in tabular form. The maximum permissible values of lead concentration were exceeded in every workplace. A considerable part of the report is devoted to health engineering at the various manufacturing stages (exhaust ventilation, adequate air renewal by conventional ventilation, separation or enclosure of plant, automation, etc.). |
