BGIA - Archive 2002: ISSA Dust Forum

Between 11 and 13 June 2001 an International Symposium was held in Toulouse/France, organised by the ISSA () Sections Chemistry and Research. The event was devoted to risks at work caused by hazardous airborne particles occurring as dusts, fumes and mists and to their prevention.

The summary (PDF, 14 kB, non-accessible) of the colloquium is available as PDF-file.

Abstracts of the conference papers for all four topics can be downloaded as PDF-files:

• Assessment (PDF, 637 kB, non-accessible) of exposure to particulate pollutants,
• Biological (PDF, 479 kB, non-accessible) effects of inhaled particles,
• Reduction (PDF, 518 kB, non-accessible) of exposure to particulate pollutants in the workplace,
• Ultrafine (PDF, 495 kB, non-accessible) particles and specific dusts.

Within the scope of the Dust Forum, a special service will be offered on this page until the end of 2001. Scientists and practitioners can here take the opportunity to discuss open questions and to exchange their opinions.

For this purpose a forum for discussions is offered which covers the topics prevention, measurement, limit values and ultrafine particles
