| Abstract |
Various methods were used to analyse the particulate air pollution produced by 5 different metal spraying techniques. The metal fumes showed considerable differences with regard to Cr and Ni content, particle size distribution and valence of Cr according to the metallising technique used. Common features of all techniques were that a large proportion of the aerosols consisted of particles smaller than 1µm, and that the particles contain hexavalent Cr. The possibility of using the urine Cr level as an exposure test has also been investigated and should be confirmed by further research. |
