More2021-5-6 Airborne Environmental Exposure to Asbestos In this issue of the Journal (pp. 624–629), Kurumatani and Kumagai (1) present an investigation into cases of mesothe-lioma in Amagasaki City, Japan, linked to a former asbestos cement pipe factory. The Amagasaki plant was known to have used crocidolite and chrysotile asbestos between 1957 and 1975

MoreAverage 8-h TWA asbestos exposures were estimated to range from 0.010 to 0.062 f/cc. Handling clothes worn during gasket and packing replacement activities demonstrated exposures that were 0.71% (0.0009 f/cc 40-h TWA) of the airborne asbestos concentration experienced during the 5
MoreCONCLUSION: Power plant insulation workers are exposed to airborne asbestos at concentrations that exceed the US OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit. Action to mitigate the risks should be taken in Mongolia. PMCID: PMC4457122 PMID: 25730489 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Publication Types: Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; MeSH Terms
MoreIn this study, a historical phenolic (Bakelite) molding material, BMMA-5353, was tested to determine the airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers released during four different activities (sawing, sanding, drilling, and cleanup of dust generated from these activities). Each activity was performed
More2015-2-1 Although airborne asbestos concentrations measured during clothes handling were higher than concentrations found in previously published literature, they were well below current (0.1 f/cc 8 h TWA Permissible Exposure Limit, 1 f/cc 30 min Excursion Limit) and historical occupational exposure limits and were approximately 0.7% of the airborne asbestos measurements taken over the course of
MoreDespite efforts over the past 50 or more years to estimate airborne dust or fiber concentrations for specific job tasks within different industries, there have been no known attempts to reconstruct historical asbestos exposures for the many types of trades employed in various nonmanufacturing settings.
More2021-5-6 It substantiates the airborne exposure route as a cause of community asbestos-related disease many years later and, consistent with other studies , suggests that risks of environmental exposures are higher in women. The study indicates that windborne asbestos exposure could result in cancer cases at some distance from a site.

MoreA simulation study was conducted to evaluate worker and area exposure to airborne asbestos associated with the replacement of asbestos-containing gaskets and packing materials from flanges and valves and assess the influence of several variables previously not investigated. Additionally, potential o
MoreTherefore, assuming an exposure scenario in which a worker uses power tools to cut and sand products molded from BMMA-5353 and similar products in the manner evaluated in this study, airborne asbestos concentrations should not exceed current or historical occupational exposure limits.
