| Popis: | To study the relationship between inhalation of airborne particles and cobalt in the Swedish hard metal industry and markers of inflammation and coagulation in blood.Personal sampling of inhalable cobalt and dust were performed for subjects in two Swedish hard metal plants. Stationary measurements were used to study concentrations of inhalable, respirable, and total dust and cobalt, PMThe average air concentrations of inhalable dust and cobalt were 0.11 mg/mThe observed relationships between particle exposure and coagulatory biomarkers may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. |
