| Abstract |
Conditions in the undersealing bays of 4 garages where motor vehicles are rustproofed are described. Measurements showed 20-200ppm hydrocarbons in the vicinity of the operator during spraying, not including droplets which may be inhaled if no mask is used, or vapour from droplets on masks. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were used in the analysis. Toxicity levels for mixed hydrocarbons were not exceeded, but the concentrations were high enough to justify extensive testing in such establishments. Consideration should be given to the ambient temperature, in view of its exponential relation with vapour pressure. |
