| Resumen |
In a woodworking factory, surface coating of wood was performed with acid-curing coatings. Two methods for visualising the spread of airborne contaminants (GridMap and PIMEX) were used in conjunction with technical modifications and better working methods to reduce exposure to solvents and formaldehyde. Both these methods proved useful for the investigation of the causes of exposure, illustrating the effects of different measures that were taken to reduce exposure levels. During the year when the experiments were carried out, exposure to solvents was halved. Exposure to formaldehyde was also reduced, but not to the same extent. This thesis also includes a study of the emission of volatile components using a device that was built specially for that purpose. |
