Abstract:

This report presents the findings of a study to investigate exposures to dust and its microbiological components amongst workers employed at Materials Recycling Facilities (MRFs). The report shows the potential for workers to be exposed to general airborne dust above the level where it is considered a substance hazardous to health. Also, there is the potential for exposure to fungi and bacteria, as well as endotoxins, which are agents known to have harmful effects on human health.
