Objective
The quality of exposure assessment has been shown to have large implications on epidemiological results. For hazard identification, qualitative or semi-quantitative exposure assessment is sufficient, while risk quantification…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Thermal spraying is a process during which a coating is applied at high temperature and at high speed onto a metal object, for the purposes, for example, of producing a surface that is more resistant to corrosion…

This scientific and technical note is a report on existing knowledge concerning the management of waste to characterize the potential chemical risks of this industry. This reflexion was carried out following the implementation of the law…

The INRS has made available in 2023 a tool (available at http://www.inrs.fr/outil110) that provides descriptive information on airborne exposure levels by work situation to 626 chemical substances such as particulates and volatile organic compounds…
