The steel industry maintains its important position in the context of the Italian production involving thousands of workers. The iron and steel processes are divided into primary steel industry, production of intermediate minerals, and secondary steel, scrap from the production of semi-finished industrial and consumer sector (metal inserted into components and metal used for dissipative uses, primarily coatings) and industrial waste. The paper presents the results of environmental monitoring carried out in some electric steel plant for the measurement of airborne chemicals that characterize the occupational exposure of workers employed in particular area like electric oven, to treatment outside the furnace, continuous casting area. For the sampling of the pollutants were used both personal and in fixed positions samplers. The pollutants measured are those typical of steel processes inhalable dust, metals, respirable dust, crystalline silica, but also Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs).
在涉及数千名工人的意大利生产背景下，钢铁行业保持着其重要地位。钢铁生产过程分为初级钢铁工业、中间矿物生产、二级钢铁、来自工业半成品和消费部门生产的废料（插入部件中的金属以及主要用于涂层等耗散用途的金属）以及工业废物。本文介绍了在一些电炉钢厂进行的环境监测结果，这些监测旨在测量空气中的化学物质，这些化学物质表征了在特定区域（如电炉、炉外处理、连铸区域）工作的工人的职业暴露情况。对于污染物的采样，既使用了个人采样器，也使用了固定位置采样器。所测量的污染物是钢铁生产过程中的典型污染物，包括可吸入粉尘、金属、可吸入粉尘、结晶二氧化硅，还有多环芳烃（PAH）、多氯二苯并二恶英（PCDD）和多氯二苯并呋喃（PCDF）。
