Abstract |
A walk through survey was conducted at the Dundee Cement Company, Dundee, Michigan to determine the presence of materials harmful to the health of workers at that and similar sites. For most jobs at the site the respirable and total dust levels were below recommended limits. There were six respirable dust samples and three total dust samples which exceeded the recommended ACGIH levels for respirable nuisance particulate. Detectable levels of quartz (14808607) were found in 12 respirable dust samples taken from workers associated with raw material, coal, or percipitator dusts. Seven total dust samples exceeded the Mine Safety and Health Administration limit of 10mg/m3. Exposure was also noted to hydrogen-sulfide (7783064). The authors recommend that engineering controls be used to reduce worker exposure to airborne dust. |
