title: [Adequate measurement of artificial mineral fibers and evaluation of the biological effect].
abstract: Epidemiological and clinical medical examinations of exposed workers to man-made mineral fibers (MMF) to fix threshold limit values are presupposed by adequate measurements of MMF-dust. As yet are used technics which are unsatisfying. In consideration of the biological conditions in the breathing system a draft to measure MMF dust is introduced and proved. This draft based on the use of two-step-gravimetrical measurements together with membranous filter devices and evaluation by an electronic microscope.
