| Abstract |
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (benzo(a)pyrene) and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans are identified as being present in soot from fires in buildings with technical installations such as transformers or cables. The concentration of these substances must be determined prior to return of employees to the rooms. If the limits of 50ppm for benzo(a)pyrene and of 0.002ppm for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or dibenzofurans are exceeded, rooms may be entered only with a respirator, protective gloves and disposable overall. |
