The objectives of this conference, organised by INRS, were to present the chemical risk prevention tools available or in the pipeline, and to answer the questions being asked by risk prevention stakeholders as regards the risks of exposure to…

Safety nets are fitted when falls from height cannot be avoided by other collective protection means. Performance of the nets is assessed in compliance with Standard EN 1263-1. That standard specifies lengthy and tedious natural or artificial…

In water, chlorine reacts with nitrogen-containing compounds to produce disinfection by-products such as nitrogen trichloride which induces ocular and respiratory irritations in swimming pool workers. A technical solution has been used…

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is used as an anesthetic agent in medical, dental, and veterinary operatories. Several toxicological studies have shown that occupational exposure to N2O causes adverse effects on health. The actual method developed by INRS…

INRS has conducted a study with the aim of developing a diagnostic tool for exposure to chemical risks in the field of thermal degradation of plastics materials. An analytical protocol has been developed in the laboratory. Various sampling campaigns…

This study was dedicated to the improvement of nitrous oxide sampling for occupational exposure assessment. The current method is based on diffusive sampling of N2O on 5Å molecular sieve. Its application is constrained due to back-diffusion…
