Automotive spray painting is among the most sophisticated and controlled industrial painting
operations currently performed. Nevertheless, improvements in it are still sought in efforts to …

This work analyzes the mechanism of spray deposition by means of computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) in order to reproduce virtually the spraying of a paint gun adopted for use in …

To achieve efficient ventilation and purification in the high-ceiling painting workshop is faced
with the contradiction between effect and energy consumption. Understanding the …

Background Little is known about the extent of human isocyanate skin exposure in auto
body shops and the effectiveness of personal protective equipment. Animal studies have …

The increasing incidence of health problems associated with 'tight buildings' can be partly
blamed on the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) derived from human activity …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to simulate breathing-zone concentration
for a simple representation of spray painting a flat plate in a cross-flow ventilated booth. The …

The transportation of gaseous contaminant from a low and moderate low impulse
(momentum< 1 ms− 1) source to the breathing zone was studied in a uniform air stream flow …

There is a large variety of activities in workplaces that can lead to emission of substances.
Coding systems based on determinants of emission have so far not been developed. In this …

We conducted a repeated exposure-assessment survey for task-based breathing-zone
concentrations (BZCs) of monomeric and polymeric 1, 6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) …

Objectives This study describes the development and evaluation of a method for sampling
layers of the stratum corneum for the quantitation of dermal exposure to 1, 6-hexamethylene …
