Abstract |
More than 3,000 air samples taken in French industry were analysed, separated by economic sector and presented as a function of the TLV proposed by a directive of the EEC (0.15mg/m3 for metallic lead and its salts). The TLV was exceeded overall in 30% of the samples, with a 50% rate reached in lead remelting and in the battery manufacturing industry. The concentration of lead dust in the workplace air is judged to be too high in many cases. |
