Toxicity monitoring of aerosols in working environment
Abstract
The aerosols from a factory producing lead batteries and their influence on the health of workers working in the lead polluted environment were studied. The aerosols were characterized with regard to their cutoff diameters and elemental composition. Simultaneously the whole blood of the exposed workers was analyzed. The elemental composition of blood was measured by the PIXE method and lead contents by AAS.
