Outline of reasons and objectives
Thermal spraying is a process during which a coating is applied at high temperature and at high speed onto a metal object, for the purposes, for example, of producing a surface that is more resistant to corrosion…

Microbial aerosols captured by HVAC filters can colonize those filters in appropriate conditions, especially when HVAC system is stopped. The risk of microbial aerosol release downstream filters is increased after a stopping period. After…

Quantitative (CFU counting, ergosterol rate) and qualitative (SEM observations) analyses and a dedicated experimental set-up were combined in this study to examine the growth and release of a bacteria-fungi consortium collected by fibrous…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Exposure to bioaerosols (bacteria, moulds, and sub-products or fragments of micro-organisms) present in the air at workstations has been established in numerous occupational sectors. In certain employees…

In France, nearly 800,000 employees are potentially exposed to diesel fumes, which have been identified as the primary source of exposure to a carcinogenic. Prevention of exposure to this pollutant in testing centres for testing vehicle safety…

Some authors highlighted that during the filtration of ultrafine particles, the deposit is essentially located in the first layers of the granular bed. Thus, only a small depth is useful thereby reducing both the operation time between each unclogging…

Fumes produced by thermal spraying processes are composed of particles of almost 95 % ultrafine particles. These particles with high clogging properties lead to difficulties to industrial filtration processes to maintain the air flow rate…
