Table 1. The FA exposure levels in FA-exposed workers and controls.
Groups | Number of workers | Number of air samples | FA concentrations (ppm) | |
mean | range | |||
High exposure | 70 | 16 | 0.63 | 0.36–1.53 |
Low exposure | 48 | 8 | 0.15 | 0.07–0.19 |
Controls | 79 | 4 | <0.008a |
The limit of detection (0.008 ppm) was used to present the FA level in the control industry.
