1-9. A dust survey was carried out in five furniture making factories in, or in the vicinity of, High Wycombe. The results, which are among the first to be reported for the United Kingdom, have provided information on the concentrations and size distributions of airborne dust to which wood machinists are currently exposed. Although measured concentrations covered a wide range, the average concentration was similar to the threshold limit value of 5 mg m provisionally recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. A high proportion by mass of the airborne dust was of a size which will be deposited in the nasal passages on inhalation.
1 - 9. 在海威科姆及其附近的五家家具制造工厂进行了一次粉尘调查。这些结果是英国首批报告的结果之一，提供了有关木材加工工人目前接触的空气中粉尘浓度和粒径分布的信息。尽管测量的浓度范围很广，但平均浓度与美国政府工业卫生学家会议临时建议的5毫克/立方米的阈限值相似。空气中大部分粉尘的粒径会在吸入时沉积在鼻腔通道中。
