Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Levels of exposure to wood dust

Notes: Sumario: Survey of exposure to inhalable dust have been carried out in two woodworking machine shops and five other woodworking shops where both manual and machine tool work is carried out. The Occupational Exposure Limits for wood dust were found to be frequently exceeded in some workshops. It is possible that the fraction of dust projected from woodworking machines towards the operator may have contirbuted both to measured dust concentrations and to exposure . Dust exposure may be reduced by careful attention to enclosure and ventilation, possibly using total enclosure at some machines. Emission of dust from portable orbital type sanding machines was considerably reduced by the use of low-volume high-velocity tyoe extractionRelated records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 4, August 1991 ; p. 397-403Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Polvo Control de contaminantes Maderas Valores TLV Contaminación atmosférica Industria del mueble Procesos industriales Otros autores: Hamill, A.
