Abstract

The Finnish bakery sector includes mainly traditional, industrial and grocery store bakeries. There is lack of studies on the variation of exposure levels to flour dust in various types of bakeries in Finland. In this work, mass concentrations (Cm) of flour dust were measured during three working days in four bakeries including one industrial and grocery store bakery, and two traditional bakeries. Gravimetric sampling (inhalable dust) and real-time measurements (PM10) were performed. The Cm of inhalable dust at the breathing zone and stationary locations were 1.3-15.1 and 0.1-3.0 mg/m³, respectively. Regarding PM10 particles, the Cm varied between <0.1 and 28.3 mg/m³. Control measures are needed for all the bakeries to reduce exposure to inhalable dust and peak concentrations of PM10 particles.
