Exposition aux solvants organiques et au formaldehyde lors de l'imprégnation de parquets: étude en cabine d'expérimentation et sur le terrain

Abstract

This study, conducted both on site and in the laboratory shows that parket workers are exposed to organic solvents and formaldehyde when using classical varnishes. Respirators must be used when working > 1/2 h. On the other hand, modern water-based varnishes do not produce dangerous volatile solvents nor formaldehyde.
