In order to find out whether dust respirators are properly used among lead workers in small scale manufacturing companies of lead pigments and stabilizers, a questionnaire survey was carried out for 141 lead workers. The questionnaire consisting of 7 items of questions including selection, use, maintenance, storage and instruction of respirators was distributed to all 141 workers. This survey revealed that 22% of the total workers wore unauthorized dust respirators, and that 73% used a knitcover. Instruction by health supervisors of how to use and where to store the respirators was found to be effective for inspection of valve and a proper place to store dust respirator. However, the result that significantly large percentage of workers used the knitcover following the health supervisors' instruction can be taken to indicate that health supervisors should be given more precise information on deteriorated face-sealing of the respirator facepiece with the knitcover.
为了查明在铅颜料和稳定剂小型制造公司中，铅作业工人是否正确使用防尘口罩，对141名铅作业工人进行了问卷调查。这份包含7项问题的问卷，内容涉及口罩的选择、使用、维护、储存和说明，发放给了所有141名工人。调查显示，22%的工人佩戴未经许可的防尘口罩，73%的工人使用针织面罩。结果发现，健康监督员关于如何使用和在何处储存口罩的指导，对于检查阀门和防尘口罩的合适储存地点是有效的。然而，相当大比例的工人在健康监督员的指导下使用针织面罩，这一结果表明，应该向健康监督员提供更精确的信息，说明佩戴针织面罩时呼吸面罩的面部密封性能会变差。
