| Abstract |
Review of modern foundry techniques involving the use of many inorganic and organic substances, recognised as harmful under West German regulations, used as resins and hardeners in the composition of sand mixes used for hot-box and cold-box moulding. These substances are given off and decompose during casting. Description of methods for monitoring harmful substances in the air in 8 foundries: technical data on monitoring methods, results for various moulding techniques and workplaces. Detailed considerations on the concept of a statistical evaluation of the results based on the toxicity of substances used in different techniques and workplaces. Recommended measures for monitoring and reduction of harmful substances (isolation of casting area, exhaust ventilation of gases and vapours, programmed ventilation, optimum regeneration of sand, strict observance of rules concerning additives, workplace air monitoring). |
