Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - A National cross-sectional study of the working environment in the Danish wood and furniture industry : air pollution and noise

Notes: Sumario: A cross-sectional survey was carried out in the Danish wood and furniture industry at 200 factories. In this paper, representative estimates of employees'full-shift exposures to wood dust, vapours from organic solvents, formaldehyde and noise dose were calculated using a model for two stage cluster designs. Exposures to air pollutants were generally below the occupational exposure limits (OELs), while noise doses were at the same level as OEL. The overall exposure to wood dust was 0.90 mg m-3, exposure to vapours from organic solvents was 0.3 C/OEL and noise dose, leq (8 h), was 90.5 dB(A)Related records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 1, February 1993 ; p. 25-34Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Contaminantes físicos Ruido Disolventes orgánicos Formaldehido Riesgo laboral Maderas Industria del mueble Dinamarca Otros autores: Laursen, Bjarne
