Exposure to Chrysotile Asbestos Associated with Unpacking and Repacking Boxes of Automobile Brake Pads and Shoes
2008
0.086 to 0.368 and 0.021 to 0.126 f cc 21 for a worker unpacking and repacking 4–20 boxes of brake pads and 4–20 boxes of brake shoes, respectively. Additionally, average airborne asbestos exposures (30 min) at bystander locations ranged from 0.004 to 0.035 and 0.002 to 0.011 f cc 21 when 4–20 boxes of brake pads and 4–20 boxes of brake shoes were handled, respectively. These data show that a worker handling a relatively large number of boxes of brakes over short periods of time will not be exposed to airborne asbestos in excess of its historical or current shortterm occupational exposure limits.
