Lead dust forms when solid materials are broken down into small particles. For example, dusts can be created when handling, grinding, sanding, polishing, or cutting lead or lead-containing materials. The dust can vary in size from large particles, which tend to fall to the ground, to fine particles, which can remain airborne for hours.

CONT

La poussière de plomb est produite lorsque des matières solides se décomposent en petites particules. Elle peut ainsi résulter de la manipulation du plomb ou de matériaux qui en contiennent et de leur broyage, de leur sablage, de leur polissage ou d'activités de coupe. La taille de la poussière peut varier, passant de grosses particules qui tombent naturellement au sol, à des particules fines qui peuvent rester en suspension dans l'air ambiant pendant des heures.
