“…There are about 900 such workers in iron foundries, about 200 in steel foundries, and about 200 in copper alloy foundries. The total number of foundrymen and foundries has been reported elsewhere (6).…”

“…The inorganic materials emitted from the molten metal are primarily composed of oxides of iron, manganese, calcium, magnesium, silicon, chromium, and nickel, but lead, cadmium, and cobalt may also be present in the emissions [Tossavainen, 1976;Verma et al, 1982].…”

“…Manual labor or an irregular process with occasional short-term outbursts of contaminant favor a higher value. For instance, the various metal fume concentrations during the melting operation exhibit values from 0.20 to 0.34 (10). Having taken a large series of measurements in foundries, Riediger and Coenen suggested that the dust concentrations can be considered as log-normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.3 or less, when the· sampling time is longer than 1 h (7).…”

Precision and accuracy of foundry dust exposure estimates from air sampling data. Scand. j. work environ. & health 2 (1976) 13-18. Errors in the sampling methods and in the determination of respirable size quartz in foundry dust have been evaluated and discussed. In general, the total precision of dust sampling and analysis was better than 20 0/0. The term "exposure dose" is introduced and defined. The temporal variation associated with measuring exposure dose is assessed with reference to the use of a log-normal distribution of air sampling results. The logarithmic standard deviations of dust concentrations at fixed sites and jobs are calculated.
