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…

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…

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…

This study focuses on prevention of possible exposure to chemical agents, when opening, entering and stripping freight containers. The container degassing process is investigated using tracer gas measurements and numerical airflow simulations…
