| Abstract |
This study was aimed at characterizing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in the sheet-fed offset printing sector. Following a literature survey on emission flow evaluation methods, the most suited methods were applied in a laboratory test bench and in a printing shop. This study enabled to estimate emission flows in a printing shop and to install systems for their limitation. It showed that it was possible to reduce VOC emissions at the source by means of machinery design, optimal machine settings and the installation of a specific workstation devoted to the task of cleaning. |
