The aim of this publication is to present the results of a detailed analysis of dust exposure in the production and processing of chemical substances, including the kind of produced materials, workposts and type of emitted dusts.
Data on dust exposure were based on measurements of dust concentrations performed by industrial hygiene laboratories. Their results were obtained from sanitary and epidemiological stations operating throughout Poland. Average concentrations ofinhalable and respirable dust at specific workposts in the chemical industry (including 7 groups) were calculated and the percentage of surveys exceeding hygiene standards was estimated.
The analysis included 2800 results of dust concentration measurements. The highest concentrations of inhalable and respirable dust (containing a few percent of silica) and the highest percentage of the results above hygiene standards were observed in the manufacture of basic chemicals The concentration of inhalable dust in this group was 2.83 mg/m3, and the percentage of measurements above hygiene standards--16.57%, while for respirable dust, these values were respectively 0.75 mg/m3 and 27.32%.
Exposure to dust in the chemical industry differs, depending on the type of production. Particularly high concentrations, very often above hygiene standards, were observed in factories manufacturing basic chemicals.
本出版物的目的是展示对化学物质生产和加工过程中粉尘暴露的详细分析结果，包括所生产材料的种类、工作岗位和排放粉尘的类型。
粉尘暴露数据基于工业卫生实验室进行的粉尘浓度测量。其结果来自波兰各地运营的卫生和流行病学站。计算了化学工业（包括7个类别）特定工作岗位上可吸入粉尘和可呼吸粉尘的平均浓度，并估算了超过卫生标准的调查百分比。
该分析包括2800个粉尘浓度测量结果。在基础化学品制造过程中，观察到可吸入粉尘和可呼吸粉尘（含百分之几的二氧化硅）的浓度最高，且高于卫生标准的结果所占百分比最高。该组中可吸入粉尘的浓度为2.83毫克/立方米，高于卫生标准的测量百分比为16.57%，而对于可呼吸粉尘，这些值分别为0.75毫克/立方米和27.32%。
化学工业中的粉尘暴露因生产类型而异。在基础化学品制造工厂中观察到特别高的浓度，且常常高于卫生标准。
