Abstract
Abstract As part of its study of health hazards associated with the manufacture and processing of fibrous materials, the Bureau of Occupational Safety and Health is conducting a cohort analysis of past workers in the fibrous glass industry. Environmental surveys to estimate the degree of exposure of fibrous glass workers to fibers that are respirable indicated that the exposure had been negligible. Present average concentrations of fibers in air are low, as is the total airborne glass concentration. Concentration ranges and averages in glass fiber insulation and glass textile fiber manufacturing are compared with those existing in other mineral industries for potential health implications.
