| Abstract |
The concentration and size distribution of metalworking fluid aerosols were investigated in grinding operations (face, microcentric, and progressive) in the bearing manufacturing industry. Aerosol mass concentration as measured by open-face filter sampling ranged from 0.34 to 2.43mg/m3. As measured by closed-face sampling the range was 0.14 to 2.01mg/m3. For each grinding process, open-face concentration was significantly higher than the closed-face concentration. Mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) ranged from 3.33 to 6.26µm. The results indicate that (1) closed-face sampling results in a lower aerosol mass concentration, as compared with open-face sampling, and (2) the particle size distribution and concentration of metalworking fluid aerosols may vary with the type of grinding operation sampled. |
