title: [Evaluation of occupational exposure to cadmium based on air analysis of the work area. I. Cadmium oxide level in the air of work areas in a cadmium and nickel cumulator factory].
abstract: Results of evaluation of occupational exposure carried on by individual dosimetry and stationary measurements were compared. The former method yielded higher values for airborne cadmium concentrations. The investigations exhibited high cadmium oxide dust concentrations at most workplaces within the alkaline accumulator plant. Time-weighted average (per 8 h) concentrations of this compound in the workers' breathing zone ranged between 0.040-1.5 mg/m3, 85% of the obtained results exceeding the TLV value (0.1 mg Cd/m3).
