Resumen Furfuryl alcohol and formaldehyde concentrations in the air of coremaking areas of 10 iron and steel foundries were measured. The mean concentration of furfuryl alcohol and formaldehyde was 4.3cm3/m3 and 2.7cm3/m3 respectively. Furfuryl alcohol exceeded its threshold limit value (TLV) of 5cm3/m3 in 22% of the determinations; and formaldehyde (TLV = 2cm3/m3) in 38%. In addition phenol concentration was determined in one foundry; and phosphoric acid concentration in two foundries. The concentrations of phenol and phosphoric acid were far lower than their TLVs.
