Size distribution of chromate paint aerosol generated in a bench-scale spray booth / Rania A. Sabty-Daily, William C. Hinds and John R. Froines
Spray painters are potentially exposed to aerosols containing hexavalent chromium [ Cr(VI) ] via inhalation of chromate-based paint sprays. Evaluating the particle size distribution of a paint spray aerosol, and the variables that may affect this distribution, is necessary to determine the site and degree of respiratory deposition and the damage that may result from inhaled Cr(VI)-containing paint particles. This study examined the effect of spray gun atomization pressure, aerosol generation source and aerosol aging on the size distribution of chromate-based paint overspray aerosols generated in a bench-scale paint spray booth
