Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Technological development of the mineral wool industry in Europe

Notas: Sumario: The technical development of the European mineral wool industry is presented with emphasis on its early history and those factors believed to be of significance for the working environment. Its early history was mainly based on trila and error and may have presented wool without effective dust suppression. The highest fibre concentration is assumed to have occurred by the end of that period. Morcover, some plants had a short period of so-called batch operation, when the fibre exposure may have been high for a few workers. The exposure patterns for modern production and use are the same for glass wool and rock wool. In this presentation of the technological development of the MMMF industry in Europe, only the mineral (glass, slag and rock) wool insulation industry is coveredRegistros relacionados: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 4B, 1987 ; p. 529-545Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Fibras minerales artificiales Man-made mineral fibres Lana mineral Evolución histórica Procesos industriales Nuevas tecnologías Fabricación de productos Europa Títulos secundários: Título: The Annals of occupational hygiene
