Assessment of levels and 'health-effects' of airborne particulate matter in mining, metal mefining and metal working industries using nuclear and related analytical techniques.

This publication provides an overview of studies carried out on the assessment of exposure to toxic elements in airborne particulate matter in various workplaces in eleven countries. The targeted industrial activities included mining, metal refining and metal working industries and the overall aim o...
