Effectiveness of nanoparticle exposure mitigation measures in industrial settings
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
Inhalation of airborne nanoparticles is a well-known source of potentially health-hazardous occupational exposures. Effective mitigation measures are necessary to reduce exposure, but also challenging to implement due to ...
Wastes from industrial processes introduced as chamottes in ceramic membranes
(Universitat Politècnica de València. Research Institute for Industrial, Radiophysical and Environmental Safety (ISIRYM). Prometeo Research Group (Membrane Processes and Environmental Effluent Treatment), 2018-07-09)
In the present work, chamottes generated as subproducts by different industrial processes have been used to obtain low-cost ceramic membranes.
Testing the performance of one and two box models as tools for risk assessment of particle exposure during packing of inorganic fertilizer
(Elsevier, 2019)
Modelling of particle exposure is a useful tool for preliminary exposure assessment in
workplaces. However, actual exposure measurements are needed to assess models
reliability. Worker exposure was monitored during packing ...
Workplace Exposure to Nanoparticles during Thermal Spraying of Ceramic Coatings
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-01)
Thermal spraying is widely used for industrial-scale application of ceramic coatings onto metallic surfaces. The particular process has implications for occupational health, as the high energy process generates high emissions ...
Environmental profile of Spanish porcelain stoneware tiles
