This communication deals with an aspect of occupational hygiene in a factory producing granite cutting diamond wheels by sintering, in moulds, of fine cobalt powder. The factory has been studied between 1988 and 1991; the Department of Preventive and Occupational Medicine of the Local Sanitary Unit of Reggio Emilia has followed the evolution of the local exhaust ventilation equipment supplied by the employer in that period. At the same time, the following measurements and observations were carried out: (a) cobalt exposure by personal sampling, (b) airborne cobalt measurements by area sampling, (c) biological monitoring of cobalt in urine, (d) health surveillance.
