Abstract Contents: respirable dust and other health hazards in glass works (silica, lead, arsenic, chromium, etc.) and their TLVs; dusty operations and dust control methods (enclosure of bulk handling installations for raw materials, local exhaust ventilation, etc.); dust control measures at the design stage of new glass works (rational layout of storage areas and installations for mixing raw materials, mechanisation and occupational hygiene techniques, adoption of processes which avoid raising dust); dust control by ventilation (examples of calculations, local exhaust ventilation); atmospheric pollution control; adjustment and maintenance of ventilation (examples of calculations, local exhaust ventilation); atmospheric pollution control; adjustment and maintenance of ventilation systems. Some practical solutions adopted in Soviet glass works are described, with diagrams.
