Resumen The authors describe the principal moulding and core-making processes in French foundries and deal with the toxicological hazards involved in using certain products, especially synthetic binders (polyurethane-phenol, furan and phenol resins, "alkyd-isocyanate" resin). Laboratory tests have led to the identification of the main compounds of the binder resins and the major pollutants likely to be given off during their thermal degradation. In-plant air sampling has also provided quantitative data for most of the moulding processes. Laboratory analysis techniques and on-site air sampling methods are summarised. Some preventive mesures are suggested: avoid stocking large quantities of binders near the moulding and core-making processes; protective gloves; transport of treated sand by airtight piping; avoid skin contact with sand.
