چکیده
The purpose of the study was to investigate the performance of displacement ventilation in a large factory hall where large components of stainless steel for paper, pulp and chemical industries were manufactured. The performance of displacement ventilation was evaluated in terms of concentration distributions of welding fumes and grinding particles, flow field of the supply air and temperature distributions. Large differences in vertical stratification patterns between hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and other particulate contaminants were observed. The concentration of Cr(VI) was notably lower in the zone of occupancy than in the upper part of the factory hall, whereas the concentrations of total airborne particles and trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) were higher in the occupied zone than in the upper zone. The stratification of Cr(VI) had the same tendency as the air temperature stratification caused by the displacement flow field. 2001 British Occupational Hygiene Society.

Mesothelioma has not been found in South African chrysotile miners and millers despite decades of producing about 100 000 tons of the mineral per year. One possible explanation for the scarcity or absence of the cancer may be a relative lack of contaminating fibrous tremolite, an amphibole that variably occurs with chrysotile ores. The fibre content in the lungs of nine former chrysotile mine w...

A strategy in four successive stages is described and justi®ed for the prevention and control of thermal problems in the workplace. This should allow these problems to be approached and solved progressively in small as well as large companies by relying successively, when necessary, on the complementary competencies of the workers themselves, their technical assistance, the occupational health ...
