Abstract
Measurements of exposure of road workers to silica-containing dusts, hydrocarbon solvents, lime and cement dusts, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons showed that, in general, exposures were within permissible limits for these materials. Certain occupations, notably road sweeping, cement spreading and spraying of coal tar and bitumen, require respiratory protection, the provision of which was not always adequate. Possible effects of exposure to all materials were mitigated by a work pattern of less than 8 h daily exposure for only about half of each year.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
