| Abstract |
Among the various metal-transformation industries, foundries are among the most hazardous, whichever processes or metals are used. This bibliographic study and information note is devoted particularly to chemical hazards in foundries. These hazards include the new hazard of exposure to sand binders containing synthetic resins. Technologies and processes considered in this article: patterning, moulding, coremaking, melting and pouring. Chemical hazards: dusts (silica, metallic dusts), gases (emissions from melting furnaces, during the manufacturing of moulds and cores, during pouring after there has been thermal degradation of binders and during the knock-out process). Prevention methods: technical prevention, personal protection, others. In annex: table of principal chemical products encountered, with corresponding TLVs, toxicity indexes, processes where encountered, chemical function or manner of appearance, hazard for workers (organic - Table A II; mineral - Table A III). |
