  • Title: Worker exposure to chemical agents in the manufacture of rubber tires and tubes: particulates.
    Author: Williams TM, Harris RL, Arp EW, Symons MJ, Van Ert MD.
    Journal: Am Ind Hyg Assoc J; 1980 Mar; 41(3):204-11. PubMed ID: 7395731.
    Abstract:
    The Occupational Health Studies Group industrial hygiene studies at a group of 14 tire and tube manufacturing plants chosen to represent a cross-section of the industry include numerous evaluations of potential exposure to airborne particulate matter. Results of these environmental particulate sampling studies are reported by plant and by occupational groups within plants. High volume, open face and cyclone samplers were employed to evaluate both personnel and area particulate concentrations. The concentrations of particulates yielded by high volume and open face total particulate samplers are compared with those of comparison samples of respirable material. Personnel samples of particulates are compared with general air samples taken in the same work areas. An overall review and comparison is given of particulate exposures to workers in various occupational title groups where particulate materials are released to the air from processes or operations.
