Langue : Anglais
This book provides information on the generation and the effects of hazardous substances that are produced during welding and allied processes. These processes are thermal cutting, thermal spraying, soldering and brazing. The book offers guidance on the determination of hazardous substances and it simplifies assessment of the hazard due to hazardous substances.
In addition, the book explains tests in order to understand the concentration and intensity of key hazardous substances. Last but not least, the book suggests several possibilities of avoiding the risk to worker?s health as a result of exposing them to these substances.
General information on hazardous substances in welding and allied processes.- Health Effects of specific hazardous substances.- Assignment of hazardous substances to welding processes and materials.- Ultrafine particles (UFP).- Hazard evaluation during welding.- Measurement methods.- Technical protective measures.- Personal protective equipment (PPE) for hazardous substances.- Preventive occupational medical care.
Vilia Elena Spiegel-Ciobanu achieved her Master of Science Degree (M.Sc.) as Processes Engineer in
