Diagnosis of contact allergy to audio devices is challenging because of the lack of labelling on material and composition, as is the case with medical devices,
We present four cases of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to octylisothiazolinone…

INRS and IFA have teamed up to compare their methods for sampling and analysis bitumen fumes. A bitumen fumes generation facility was developed to simultaneously expose six German and six French samplers to the same polluted atmosphere. The…

Diisocyanates are used in the production of a large number of products. The processes used can be more or less emissive. Isocyanate compounds are one of the main causes of occupational asthma and some of them are classified CMR cat. 2. Current occupational…

Under the "Bitumen and paving" project which involved the INRS and professionals producers and users, the development of a method for sampling and analysing bitumen fumes was undertaken. This Communication aims to present the developments made…

Road-surfacing, asphalting and weatherproofing work exposes workers to fumes that are complex mixes of hydrocarbons due to the bitumen or asphalt being worked while it is hot. The method MetroPol 123 recently developed at the Pollutants Metrology…

The objective of this study is to develop a technique for analysing atmospheric samples of volatile organic compounds that does not use solvent. This technique is based on coupling extraction using carbon dioxide (CO2) in a supercritical state…

We propose a innovative method for air sampling analysis. Samples are extracted with supercritical CO2 prior to analysis with conventional gas or liquid chromatography. Results presented in this communication concern the first step of the…

In this study, we propose to develop an analytical device able to desorb any organic compound from any sorbent without using solvents and perform online analysis with gas, liquid and supercritical chromatography. In the first step of this study…
