Industrial Hygiene Survey of Lehigh Cement Co., Mitchell, Indiana. Cement Workers Morbidity Study.

PB94173291

Publication Date	1982
Personal Author	Sanderson, W. T.; Davidson, C.
Page Count	53
Abstract	An industrial hygiene survey was conducted at the Lehigh Cement Company, Mitchell, Indiana as part of a study of the effects of materials found in Portland Cement facilities on the human respiratory system. For most of the jobs at this facility, the respirable and total dust levels were below recommended exposure levels. Two respirable dust samples from a laborer and a dust collector contained detectable levels of quartz (14808607); both exceeded the recommended limits. The authors recommend measures for reducing the hazards at this location, including engineering controls, use of protective equipment, and improving work habits.
