pubmed:abstractText
A survey was carried out in a cold-rolling steel plant exposed to mineral oils to study the mutagenic/carcinogenic hazards, following a coupled environmental/biological monitoring. The present paper deals only with the environmental phase by determining polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and applying a mutagenicity test (Ames test), and includes the following steps: (a) work process and environment study; (b) sampling and analysing mineral oils before and after use (PAH determination and mutagenicity analysis); (c) sampling and analysing oil mist (TWA determination, PAH determination and mutagenicity analysis). The results showed that: (1) both unused and used (recycled) mineral oils contained only trace amounts of PAH and were not mutagenic; (2) the TWA concentrations of oil mists were lower than the TLV (less than 5 mg/m3); (3) oil mists contained only trace amounts of PAH and were not mutagenic. The authors suggest that these results could be due to the moderate temperature of the oil during the work process and that there is a relationship between low PAH content and absence of mutagenicity in the oils and air samples.
