Filter samples can be prepared to airborne workplace concentrations by spiking each filter with aqueous solution containing elements with concentrations gravimetrically traceable to ultrapure metals or stoidiiometricaUy well defined oxides. The amormts correspond for some of the materials to current threshold limit values of contaminants in workroom atmospheres provided that the simulated filter has been exposed to one cubic meter of air. The certified values are based on a gravimetric procedure, i.e. weight per volume composition of the primary reference material dissolved in high purity sub-dis-tiUed acids. The National Institute of Occupational Health in Oslo, Norway, has produced several batches of such materials certified for 20 elements. Additionally, information values are reported for four other elements see Table 6.2.

The Working Group was also aware of inhalation studies with dimethylformamide conducted for the United States National Institute of Occupational Health. These involved exposure to 400 ppm [1200 mg/m ] for 7 h in a rat bone-marrow cell cytogenetic study, for 7 h per day for five days in a rat bone-marrow cell cytogenetic study, a male rat dominant lethal assay and a mouse sperm morphology assay and for 2.25 h in a Drosophila melanogaster sex-linked recessive lethal assay. All results were negative.

The translations produced by the HSE Information Service are included in HSELINE, HSE s publicly available database. In addition HSELINE contains references to translations which have been acquired from other organizations, such as the US National Institute of Occupational Health (NIOSH) and the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS). HSE issues free of charge a quarterly Translation Bulletin listing all the new translations which are available for sale. The translations are priced at a firaction of the original. Anyone wishing to receive the free Translation Bulletin should wrote to HSE Information Service, Languages Unit, Harper Hill, Buxton, Derbyshire, England (see also chapter by Cowie and Richardson). 

Asbestos is still a major menace to health in India, whilst it is restricted as a building material in many countries. The National Institute of Occupational Health studies reveal that the prevalence of lung diseases, including asbestosis, has remained >20% among asbestos factories and mine workers. The average male life span is about 40 years in Multanpur, MP., where the major industry is of slate pencils. Mortality is due to chronic lung obstructive disease [S].

The importance of proper eye protection cannot be overemphasized. The U.S. National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) estimated that in 1982, bums and wounds, such as cuts or scratches, accounted for almost 15 percent of all occupational eye injuries, of which 44 percent were caused by chemicals (79). Laboratory researchers frequently use chemicals, cleansers, and disinfectants that can cause severe injury if splattered into the eye. For example, concentrated quaternary disinfectants splashed in the eye can cause blindness. Personnel must be cautioned as to the danger and given instmction in use of personal protection for eyes, face, and hands. In addition, infection can be transmitted through the conjunctiva of the eye if a liquid containing pathogenic microorganisms splashes into the eye.
