Abstract
Levels of total airborne dust measured in flax mills in Northern Ireland are compared over a 20 year period. Measured values indicate an improvement in most mills and in most working areas. In particular, the highest group of levels found in the 1961-1962 survey has been eliminated. Discussion of possible reasons for the reduction is given and some factors which may affect future levels are mentioned.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
