| Abstract |
This study on timber impregnated with a wood preservative containing Cr, Cu and As shows that 16% of the total Cr found in wood dust consists of slightly soluble hexavalent Cr. The additive hygienic effect of these substances in normally impregnated timber is greater than 1 at a dust concentration of 1.5mg/m3 (35% of the TLV for wood dust). |
