This article presents a method for estimating the time dependent generation rate of an aerosol source starting from a transient concentration signal measured at a distant point. The method is made up of two distinct steps: a calibration phase…

There is a clear need of characterizing and evaluating wood dust emission profiles from wood working machines in order to predict potential exposure peaks and to ensure the safety of workers. Indeed, wood dust is classified as a well known carcinogen…

Characterizing aerosol sources emission profiles is a central problem in risk prevention, although it is very tricky to achieve in practice. When concentration measurements are available in the far-field, this can be done indirectly through…

In this article, we describe a method to estimate the unknown flow rate of an unsteady particle source, starting from concentrations measurements in the far field. The method consists of two parts, which are the calibration phase and the estimation…

This article presents a method to enable the generation rate from one or more particle sources to be estimated, using far-field concentration measurements. The method is made up of two distinct steps; a calibration phase, followed by an estimation…

Outline of reasons and objectives
In France, wood dust is classified on the national list of carcinogenic processes and the decree of 23 December 2003 sets a stringent occupational exposure limit value for wood dust of 1 mg.m-3 that has been applicable…
