A conservative calculation using data obtained previously from simultane ous sampling with the impinger and fiber counting method, leads to a con version ratio of 2 fibers/ml for 1 ,mpppf.l: The cumulative total dust exposure level of 100 mppcf-yr would therefore be equivalent to 200 fiber/yr or an exposure to 5 fibers/ml . for a working lifetime of. 40 years.
