Exposure Risk Assessment in an Aluminium Salvage Plant
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 10/28/09
Deschamps FJ et al. – Thirty workers exposed to Al were matched to 60 individuals without exposure to Al. Significantly higher internal doses of Al in urine were found in exposed workers (11.59 [mu]g/L), when compared with the controls (4.37 [mu]g/L). Few high Al atmospheric levels were obtained (0.12–10.86 mg/m3). No significant differences concerning respiratory or neurological symptoms prevalence between the two groups were reported. Chronic exposure to Al dust, at the levels documented in this study over the German limit values, does not induce measurable cognitive decline.
