Abstract |
A working group commissioned by the French National Health Insurance Fund for salaried workers studied the design and control conditions of surface treatment tanks. The concept includes four steps: risk assessment (toxicity index and emissions index, leading to the definition of overall risk levels); selection of the type of exhaust device; calculation of the exhaust rate for each exhaust device; design of the corresponding ventilation system. Examples of industrial installations based on this approach are presented. Appendices provide exposure limit values for chemicals most frequently encountered and the risk classes for the main processes used in surface treatment. |
