Title Solvent vapor exposures in booth spray painting and spray glueing, and associated operations
Bibliographic information Nov. 1984, Vol.45, No.11, p.767-772. 5 ref.
Abstract Exposure to over 20 solvents was determined in 7 US plants for 89 exposed workers and 36 unexposed workers (control group). All spray painting and glueing was conducted in operating spray booths. Only low to moderate exposures were observed, with one TWA exposure exceeding the combined TLV. Exposure from spray painting or glueing operations can be kept to a minimum if carried out in well ventilated booths.
