| Abstract |
Area and personal sampling for hexavalent chromium were carried out at four electroplating factories in Taiwan. Samples were collected using a particle fractionating sampler and were analyzed using visible spectrophotometry. A comparison of three types of factories (chromium, nickel-chromium and zinc) showed that the highest concentrations of chromium were found in chromium electroplating factories near the electroplating tank. Chromium particles obtained through area sampling yielded a mass median diameter between 1.67 and 6.38µm, and those from personal sampling between 0.75 and 4.73µm. Both and large and small chromium particles may have effects on the respiratory system. |
