Abstract:
Four-fold classification tables are used on five datasets containing 112 parallel personal measurements of total dust and inhalable dust. The classification are carried out in such a way that the frequency of non-compliance is equal for total dust and inhalable dust. The results can be used as tentative occupational exposure limits (OELs) for inhalable dust, and the results range from 0.7 to 3.4 of OELs for total dust. The results depend on the industry and the content of the dust.
