| Abstract |
Aerosol deposition and resuspension of beryllium dust was evaluated on cotton and Nomex aramid fabrics. Electrostatically charged cotton collected more beryllium than neutral controls, but electronegative Nomex did not. Moving fabrics collected more beryllium than did stationary controls. Agitation of contaminated fabrics showed that cotton resuspended a larger fraction of its contaminant than Nomex did. |
