The results of an industry-wide study to determine the exposure of workers to man-made mineral fibers are summarized. The purpose of the study was to determine current employee exposures to airborne fibers and to utilize results to estimate past exposures. Measured exposures of workers to airborne total particulate matter and fibers are presented; samples were evaluated by phase contrast and electron microscopy. Results of the three year study, which encompassed 16 facilities and over 1500 eight hour samples, show that although there is a wide variation in concentrations of airborne fibers and particulate matter between and within the facilities surveyed, the concentrations of airborne particulate matter and fibers are generally less than 2.5 mg/m3 and 0.5 fibers/cm3, respectively. The norminal fiber size of the fibers manufactured and average airborne fiber concentration were highly correlated.
