Emission of Airborne Metals Airborne Lead Because many old coatings contain lead there is a critical situation as the lead may enrich the operator s blood due to breathing the aerosol. There are the following two critical levels Action Level OSHA AL 30 m3 If an operator works in an area at or above that level the employer must give medical surveillance and training in the hazards of working with lead. Permissible Exposure Limit OSHA PEL 50 m3 This limit is for the average amount of lead in the air over an 8-h day. Extensive studies have shown that airborne lead concentration does not depend on the main lead concentration in coating systems to be removed NIOSH 1997 the correlation between these parameters is very weak correlation . It is therefore the surface preparation method that determines airborne lead. Salome Emission of Airborne Metals 311 Fig. Relationship between lead content in paint and airborne lead exposure for different abrasive materials Salome and Morris 1996 and Morris 1996 have shown that the lead content also affected the amount of atmospheric lead exposure during blast cleaning. Some of their results are plotted in Fig. . A linear correlation with a correlation coefficient of was found. Blasters and painters are particularly endangered by lead exposure this was verified by a .
