摘要: The production of dust in natural stone transformation plants causes respiratory illnesses workers that, over time, may seriously affect their physical health. In this article we study contamination a number ornamental slate and granite located Galicia, northwest Spain. Using concentration measures combined with other factors that increase or decrease the noxious effects (noise, duration etc.), applying multivariate geostatistical techniques, were able to construct associated environmental impact maps. results integrated GIS (Geographical Information System), which allows us view maps, as also information on machinery used, work stations, most contaminated areas each plant, etc. This was then used analyze problem plant compare between plants. We propose method designed reduce worker exposure using an individualised capture system at stations. pollution control its characteristics finally incorporated into allow interested parties such managers studied people designing new consult available information.
