| Resumen |
Studies at a lead-acid battery manufacturing plant are reported. Personal air samples for exposure to arsine and particulate arsenic (As) and area air samples for arsenic trioxide (AS2O3) vapour concentrations were done. Arsine levels in 177 breathing-zone air samples were 0-49µg/m3. Highest levels were in the battery formation area. Exposures to As and As2O3 were generally lower. 8 of 39 production workers had urinary As concentrations that indicated As absorption. The current arsine exposure standard, 200µg/m3, fails to prevent chronic increased absorption of trivalent arsenic from the inhalation of arsine. |
