- Abstract
- The assessment of workers' exposure to antimony trioxide was conducted for the workers at three antimony trioxide factories located in Kyeonggi-do, Chungnam, Cheonnam, Korea during the period of September 4 to October 28, 1995. The objective of this study was to investigate any exposure of workers to antimony. The results were as follows: 1. Mean of the total antimony concentration in the air near the workplace was 0.0223 mg/m(3) in the oxidation part and 0.2806 mg/m(3) in the packing part (p<0.05). 2. Mean of the respirable antimony concentration in air near the workplace was 0.0028 mg/m(3) in oxidation and 0.0034 mg/m(3) in packing (p>0.05). 3. The average urinary antimony level in the oxidation part was 0.1827 mg/g creatinine and that of packing part was 0.1371 mg/g creatinine. But they were not statistically significant (p>0.05).
