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…

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 CIP 10 is a personal aerosol sampler designed to sample conventional dust or specific occupational inorganic or organic substances such as crystalline silica, isocyanates or mycotoxins. It is widespread used, especially in France. Within…

Quantifying semi-volatile organic aerosols in workplace air is a critical step in assessing employee exposure to these types of aerosols. Indeed, numerous organic compounds coexist both in particulate and gaseous form. However, the sampling…

Assessing the exposure of workers to semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) aerosols generally involves sampling an unstable diphasic chemical agent on a filter and a sorbent in series. Experiments at a macroscopic scale demonstrated that…
