Article Synopsis
- * Findings showed that the application method and individual behaviors affected the airborne talc levels and exposure duration, averaging around 1.0 mg/m in the personal breathing zone, with exposure lasting from under a minute to over ten minutes.
- * The study measured aerosolized talc in different products, finding particle sizes around 1.7 to 2.0 µm, and highlighted the importance of real-time monitoring for understanding short-term exposure risks associated with talc in consumer cosmetics.
