Estimating Respirable Dust Exposure from Inhalable Dust Exposure [PDF]

Annals of Work Exposures and Health, 2020
AbstractIn the sector of occupational safety and health only a limited amount of studies are concerned with the conversion of inhalable to respirable dust. This conversion is of high importance for retrospective evaluations of exposure levels or of occupational diseases.
