| Abstract |
Results are reported of a 3-year industry-wide study of glass fibre and mineral wool fibre manufacturing plants. There was a wide variation in concentrations of airborne fibres and particulate matter between and within the plants surveyed, but counts were generally below 2.5mg particulate matter and 0.5 fibres/m3. There was a close relation between fibre size and average airborne fibre concentration. |
