CONTROL OF THE TOTAL DUST LOADING AS A METHOD OF SAFE CONTROLLABLE USING OF CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS

Institute for Occupational Health of AMS of Ukraine, Kiev

Full article (PDF), UKR

The total dust loading, permissible experience of work, groups of risk for asbestos- related diseases for workers coming to work for the first time (workers of main professions of 3 Ukrainian asbestos-cement plants) were determined. The biological age of workers as a parameter of health status was evaluated.

Key words: total dust loading, permissible work experience, workers of asbestos-cement production, risk groups for asbestos-related diseases, asbestos dust, biological age
