title: [Suspended dust from artificial mineral fibers at the work site].
abstract: Products fabricated of man-made fibres, which are produced or processed in relatively large amounts in Austria, usually contain glass or rock wool. Regulations laid down limits for the exposure at the workplace to glass/rock wool dust. For this purpose, a gravimetric concentration threshold has been established for the assessment period "working year". A measuring procedure matched to the established threshold is employed to measure the concentration of airborne dust at the workplace.
