Abstract This document is designed to provide practical answers to all persons involved in the design, reception, operation and control of ventilation equipment used in the woodworking industry. It covers only the essential questions relating to ventilation systems and the different particles generated in wood processing workshops such as shavings, sawdust and dusts produced by certain operations. Other hazards such as vapours emitted during varnishing, and the problems of pollutant rejection into the environment, are not addressed.
