Title Industrial hygiene and control technology assessment of ion implantation operations
Bibliographic information Oct. 1986, Vol.47, No.10, p.607-614. Illus. 14 ref.
Abstract Workplace monitoring suggests that ion implantation workers are exposed to low levels of arsenic, boron and phosphorus. Dosimetry for ionising radiation indicates that serious exposures are unlikely to occur while engineering controls remain intact. The effectiveness of existing controls is discussed, particularly in the case of maintenance and repair personnel. Recommendations are made regarding additional preventive measures and future areas of research are identified.
