Title Long-term sampling of airborne cadmium dust in an alkaline battery factory.
Bibliographic information 1979, Vol.5, No.3, p.178-187. 43 ref.
Abstract 389 stationary and 190 mobile measurements were made. The dust consisted mainly of respirable particles. There was no cyclic variation over time. The type of work affected the concentration of airborne Cd dust. The average level of Cd had decreased from approximately 500µg/m3 in 1946 to approximately 10µg/m3 in 1976.
