This work is part of a larger work whose aim is to develop a model for prediction of the service life of cartridge for personal protection in various conditions. The model is based on coupled mass and heat transfer equations. The mass transfer at…

Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX) are known for their toxicity. They can be found in the atmosphere of outdoor and indoor environments. Long exposure to these volatile compounds may have dangerous impacts on human health.
The aim of this work is to…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are among the most common pollutants. Industrial production and use of motor cars has led to an increased supply of these organic chemical substances in the atmosphere. Benzene…

Outline of reasons and objectives
With service-based employment becoming increasingly proeminent, and nearly 10 million employees working in offices in France, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has become an issue for occupational health. However, the…

A network of resistive miniature sensors is developed in order to monitor the total VOC indicator present as a function of variations in ventilation parameters. Two types of experiments are carried out in parallel to optimize this metrological…

Numerous international scientific studies have shown that access to maritime containers can be a source of chemical exposure for operators inspecting, unpacking and maintaining them. The INRS has carried out several measurement campaigns…
