cobalt is one of the most important constituent present in ceramic industries. glazers are the relevant workers when they are producing blue colored ceramic, causing occupational exposure to such metal. through this study, urinary cobalt was determined in glazers in a ceramic industry when they were producing blue-colored ceramic glazes.in this case-control study, spot urine samples were collec...

Ceramics may be considered one of the most important and oldest inventions that give information about history humanity. Dating back to 8000 BC, ceramic has been used in many areas daily life, such as kitchenware, sanitary ware, space technology, weapon industry artistic production. In this context, use ceramics an industrial material resulted which requires education indispensable field. This ...

An industry-wide pulmonary morbidity study was undertaken to evaluate the respiratory health of employees manufacturing refractory ceramic fibers at five US sites between 1987 and 1989. Refractory ceramic fibers are man-made vitreous fibers used for high temperature insulation. Of the 753 eligible current employees, 742 provided occupational histories and also completed the American Thoracic So...

Refractory ceramic fibres (RCF) are used in thermal isolation in the metal industry where high temperatures are regularly employed. Asbestos materials were earlier commonly used for these purposes. In this work, two Finnish steel plants, three foundries and a repair shop were studied for the ceramic fibre exposure of their workers under normal production and during the replacement of oven insul...

OBJECTIVES To assess the exposure to tungsten, cobalt, and nickel in a plant producing hard metals. The main components of hard metals are tungsten carbide and cobalt metal. According to recent studies, these two components may be responsible for both fibrogenic and carcinogenic effects. METHODS 87 workers were investigated (86 male, one female) with a median age of 42 (range 22-58) and a mea...
