The effect of hygroscopicity on inhaled dose for aerosol species measured in an industrial workplaceThe effect of hygroscopicity on inhaled dose for aerosol species measured in an industrial workplace Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-132007enAerosol exposure by inhalation is of great interest in occupational health, as it represents a major potential source of hazard for workers in many industrial environments. Workers' inhaled dose assessment is far from being routinely performed in many workplaces. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of hygroscopicity of specific aerosol species on the workers' inhaled dose. For this purpose the airborne particulate matter concentration and the distribution of health-relevant chemical species that are released in an industrial workplace were measuredhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/European Aerosol Conference Lazaridis Michalis Λαζαριδης Μιχαλης Mitsakou ,C Karanasiou ,A Vratolis ,S Eleftheriadis,K Housiadas ,C Air--Pollution--Control Air contaminants Air pollutants Air pollution Air pollution control Air toxics Airborne pollutants Atmosphere--Pollution Contaminants, Air Control of air pollution Pollutants, Air Toxics, Air air pollution air pollution control air contaminants air pollutants air toxics airborne pollutants atmosphere pollution contaminants air control of air pollution pollutants air toxics air
