Phthalates are economically important products with the most used for the tonnage implemented annually in the European Union can exceed 500,000 tons. They are used as plasticizers for plastics to make them more flexible, mainly in the polyvinyl…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Di(isononyl) phthalate (DINP) is mainly used as a plasticizer in the flexible PVC industry, as a substitute for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). The industrial process is based on extrusion, and then gelling, in order…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Recent work has highlighted new activities such as carbon densification and repairing facilities covered with pitch-based coatings, and during which occupational exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons…

Certain heat treatments using gaseous hydrocarbons as carbon sources generate carcinogenic compounds from the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) family. In order to identify prevention solutions appropriate to the realities out in the…

Introduction: Low-pressure carburising is a new technology used to harden steel; the process has been shown to be a source of considerable PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) pollution. Some PAH are carcinogenic, and activities such as furnace…

Outline of reasons and objectives
The objective of this study is to give companies a method for:
compiling various sources of information a priori making it possible to assess the levels of exposure to chemical pollutants, in particular statistical…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Setting occupational exposure limit values for chemical pollutants is an essential tool in preventing chemical risks. Butadiene, the third most used Carcinogenic-Mutagenic-Reprotoxic (CMR) substance in…
