Personal inhalable paper dust exposure and potential determinants among paper industry workers in Ethiopia

20243 citationsOpen accessAddis Ababa University

Abstract

The dust exposure levels were above the Swedish OEL for 80% of the samples. This indicates that preventive measures should be established in the industry. The exposure model identified high-speed rewinding machines, a high number of machines, and work in preparation and packing as associated with high levels of paper dust exposure.
