Popis:	Cobalt is a commonly used element in metal industry. Exposure to workers occurs mainly by inhalation of cobalt-containing dust. For the evaluation of cobalt exposure, risk assessment and investigations on occupational diseases, measurements of cobalt in respirable dust are needed. Up to now, often only data for cobalt in inhalable dust are available, which is due to the earlier classification of the limit value in this fraction. Therefore, a possibility to convert cobalt concentrations mathematically from inhalable into respirable concentrations is desirable. In this study, 639 parallel measurements of cobalt concentrations in inhalable (c
