Abstract |
This paper is devoted to the determination of exposure limits to harmful substances present in the respirable air inside insulating clothing and masks. These harmful substances are given off by the constituent materials of the protective equipment itself, or eliminated in sweat. If the respirable air is insufficiently purified, the concentration of these substances can rapidly reach a level which diminishes working capacity. Research was carried out on gaseous mixtures containing carbon monoxide, phenol, ammonia, acetone, dimethylamine and methane. The following TLVs are recommeded for gases inside insulating equipment: 15mg/m3 (CO); 300mg/m3 (aliphatic hydrocarbons); 1mg/m3 (amino compounds); 50mg/m3 (acetone); 0.3mg/m3 (phenol); 150mg/m3 (oxidisable organic compounds). |
