| Abstract |
Data sheet based on a study "Untersuchungen zum Freiwerden von faserigem Staub beim Verarbeiten und beim Einsatz von Asbestgeweben für Hitzeschutzzwecke unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Wirksamkeit des Imprägnierens sur Staubunterdrückung" (Moderne Unfallverhütung, Essen, Germany (Fed.Rep.), 1976-77, No.21, p.120-126). Account of research carried out under the auspices of the German Staubforschungsinstitut involving: laboratory testing of commercial fabric samples and clothing items; readings taken at workplaces during the manufacture of garments using asbestos-based fabrics (cutting, sewing, stamping); measurement of fibres released by protective asbestos clothing during use in hot temperatures in the iron and steel industry. The results reveal that although non-negligible amounts of asbestos fibres are released in all cases, they rarely exceed the MAK limit value of 2 fibres/cm3 at workplaces. |
