This article reinforces data on exposure levels that workers experience within the European road paving industry (mineral and organic aerosols, organic vapors). By means of paired field surveys, this article focuses on comparative experiments dedicated to a personal sampler commonly used in this industry-the 37-mm cassette. This filter holder is compared with a sampler specifically designed by the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) for the inhalable fraction of airborne matter. The results reinforce previously published comparative data demonstrating that the total 37-mm cassette and the inhalable IOM sampler give similar results, with no statistical difference, for the collection of field organic aerosols emitted from hot bitumen fumes. Exposure levels are compared with some previous studies, and an estimate of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content in particulates is given for common paving operations.
本文强化了欧洲道路铺设行业（矿物和有机气溶胶、有机蒸气）中工人接触水平的数据。通过配对的现场调查，本文侧重于专门针对个人采样器的比较实验，该采样器通常用于该行业——37 毫米盒式磁带。将该滤膜盒与职业医学研究所（IOM）专门设计的用于空气中可吸入物质的采样器进行比较。结果强化了先前发表的比较数据，表明对于从热沥青烟雾中排放的现场有机气溶胶的采集，总 37 毫米盒式磁带和可吸入 IOM 采样器的结果相似，没有统计学差异。将暴露水平与一些先前的研究进行了比较，并给出了常见铺路作业中颗粒物中多环芳烃含量的估计。
