Title Air quality control in painting shops
Original title Luftreinhaltung in der Lackiertechnik [in German]
Bibliographic information May 1974, Vol.64, No.5, p.282-287. Illus.
Abstract After an introduction on the efficient use of energy and materials in painting metallic surfaces, the author reproduces extracts of the German (Fed.Rep.) Act on pollution control (Immissionsschutzgesetz) and gives examples of measures to reduce the concentration of harmful substances in painting shops: air cleaning by filtration or water scrubbing, absorption, adsorption or solvent combustion. Advice is given principally on air cleaning in dipping and spraying shops and in drying ovens. Brief review of some painting techniques requiring less material, and thus better suited to the demands of air pollution control.
