In rime, this condtt.on became known as asbcstosis and was rebred ro exposure to high concentrations of asbes tos dust. With further experience, u was found that men could wotk with asbestos dust concentrations were kept below a certain level. It is now generally accepte that a man can work a 40-hour w ee' or a lifetime without developing asb estosis the asbestos dust particle count is kept at or below 5 million particles per cubic loot of air. This dust concentration of 5 million p an icles per cubic foot of air is the Thresh old Limit Value lor a sb e sto s, and no c a se s z KAZ053003A-0079 C A LID R IA " A S B E S T O S SG-130 A N D SG-210 TOXICOUOGICAL. P R O P E R T IE S (Continued) of asbestosis are believed to have occurred when exposures have been maintained at or below this level, despite large-scale utilization (now approaching one million tons pet year in the U.S.A.). Tnis concen tration of dust is generally not visible in the average work area unless a beam of light causing a Tyndall effect is present. Usually the dust concentration must be from 8-10 million particles per cubic foot before its presence is visible in average lighting conditions. Several years ago, it was reported that there was an increase in the incidence of cancerous tumors, especially of the lung, associated with asbestosis. Recently there have been reports of some cancers occurring in individuals exposed to asbestos dust, but who have not developed clinical as bestosis. It is believed by most authorities that these cases have been associated with exposures significantly exceeding the Threshold Limit Value. A major manufac turer of asbestos products who also mines asbestos has not been able to show an in crease in cancerous growths in men work ing where dust concentrations were main tained at the Threshold Limit Value. Control of asbescos dust exposure is therefore necessary. The control methods are the standard ones applicable to a variety of dusty operations. They include closed flow systems, wet processes where possi ble, and adequate exhaust ventilation where openings in the system ate necessary. Pelletizing is sometimes used to improve the handling characteristics of otherwise dusty materials. Where satisfactory con tainment to stay within the Threshold Limit Value is impractical or impossible, effi cient and rcliabU respirators are available for the protection of the employee. A pro gram of environmental monitoring in manu facturing operations is highly desirable to determine that Threshold Limit Values are not being exceeded. Employees should wear respirators where dusting occurs in finishing products such as sanding taped oims. . . Pte-employmenl and periodic physical examinations of workers ate desirable. These should include chest X-rays to in sure that the worker has no chest con dition prior to work wirh asbescos and to determine that no lung changes are result ing from work with asbestos. In conclusion, while asbestos dust in excess of the Threshold Limit Value is potentially harmful, as are many other dusts encountered in industry, it is as readily controlled as other such dusts and it can be used safely with appropriate precautions.
