RESUMO

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE APPROACH OF A POPULATIONAL EXPOSURE TO DUST: criteriom to estimate the populational exposure to dust, in asbesto mining activity in São Felix mine (from 1940 to 1967), in Poções, state of Bahia and Cana Brava mine (from 1967 to 1996), in Minaçu, state of Goiás, both in Brazil. - The fact that occupations may constitute into an important factor as a cause of diseases has been well known for a long time. By the other hand, groups of workers have been assessed by researchers, under the epidemiological point ofview, mainly to get proof of any dose-response and/or dose-effect relationship in a given population. The present study aims the methodology to get the qualitative and quantitative approach to a populational exposure to dust. A practical test of the method to get data on the dust concentration in the air through personal interview of workers and former workers of asbesto mining activity in Brazil has been applied. Numerical data are applied in a modified Job Exposure Matrix to give workers past cummulative exposure data
