在柴油发动机废气排放暴露调查期间,我们走访了 40 个地点。测量了个人和背景对气体成分、可呼吸粉尘、元素碳、有机碳和总碳的暴露,并记录了控制系统的详细信息。结果显示,暴露模式的广泛分布反映了不同的工作实践、员工的工作类别和所使用的控制方法。然而,使用叉车的场所始终产生最高的暴露量。调查结果表明,元素碳的测量可以用作柴油发动机废气排放暴露程度的指标。皇冠版权所有 (C) 2000 由 Elsevier Science Ltd 代表英国职业卫生协会出版,保留所有权利。
Forty sites were visited during a survey of exposures to diesel engine exhaust emissions. Personal and background exposure to gaseous components, respirable dust, elemental carbon, organic carbon and total carbon were measured and details of control systems mere recorded. The results show a wide spread in exposure patterns reflecting the different work practices, job categories of employees and the control methods used. However, sites where fork-lift trucks were in use consistently produced the highest Exposures. The survey results suggest that the measurement of Elemental carbon could be used as an indicator of exposure to diesel engine exhaust emissions.
