Abstract

Background and Aims: AIR POLLUTION in the occupational health field is studied from different viewpoints such as health effects, products quality, equipments damages, and environment preservation. Furturemore, nowadays, deep attention has been merely turned toward AIR POLLUTION control in the shade of economical aspects and AIR POLLUTION control projects carried out in accordance to cost- benefit analysis.Method: This project was carried out in two press workshops in a tile factory. Airborne DUST concentrations were measured and evaluated, using NIOSH 0500 method. Then, in order to determine the cost of press workshops DUST, four stages were performed as following: 1. Impact of DUST on quality of product tiles by using of the standards developed by the Industrial Research Institute (No. of 4006, changing them from grade one to grade two). 2. Annual cost of production disruption (turning off machines for DUST cleansing) 3. Annual cost of DUST control device (bag house) 4. Annual cost of house keeping in two press workshop. Finally, results were evaluated by using of the cost- benefit analysis equation. Results: According to the results obtained from this study, concentration of DUST in production workshop 1 were higher than workshop 2 (59.262 mg/m3 and 32.158 mg/m3 respectively).Also results showed that, the average of 8.4% from total tile production has changed to grade two, costing 1000 million Rials. Annual estimation for appropriate DUST control device based on advised equations (EPAData Sheets) in each workshop was 277,322,578 Rials. There was a yearly production disruption cost of 1375.98 million Rials in the workshop 1 and 564.2 million Rials in workshop 2. There was also 10.88 million Rials cost for house keeping yearly. Conclusion :On the basis of the results obtained from cost-benefit equation (in a period of 20 years) it was revealed that, there is a benefit equal to 7.72 billion Rials in press workshop 1 and 3.31 billion Rials in press workshop 2 (11000 million Rials totally), if employer performs AIR POLLUTION control project. Finally, according to the results obtained from this study, application of DUST control project in two study areas was beneficial and the results are also promising to generalize the viewpoint over the all across the different industries.
