Occupational allergies are among the most frequent of occupational diseases, because numerous sensitizing substances and organisms are present in the working world. Often underestimated, such pathologies can become very disabling and can…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Over 60,000 welders in France are exposed to welding fumes containing metals and metal oxides. The concentrations often exceed the occupational exposure limit value, even in the presence of a ventilation-type…

The high deposition rates and high temperatures implemented in semi-automatic welding lead to high fume emissions. Such emissions being classified as Group 2B, "possibly carcinogenic" by the IARC, prompts implementation of local collection…

INRS has evaluated the performance of fume extraction systems on road pavement asphalt pavers over a two year period between 2009 and 2011. These systems are used to reduce operator exposure by capturing fumes at the auger, where most emissions…

The day, organised by INRS, in partnership with CNAM (French National Health Insurance Fund), CETIM (Technical Centre for the Mechanical Industries), IS (Welding Institute), SYMOP (Association for Machinery and Production Technologies) and CIS-FIM1…

The high deposition rates and temperatures implemented in semi-automatic welding lead to high fume emissions. These fumes have been classified as Group 2B - "possibly carcinogenic" - by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and…

This study assesses the main parameters affecting fume capture efficiency namely the extraction flow rate, the positioning of the suction openings on the torch, the angle of inclination of the torch to the workpiece during welding, the metal…
