evaluation of tobacco dust and designing of local exhaust ventilation (lev) systems in a tobacco processing industry

Welding Fume Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)Evaluation: the Lincoln Electric X-Tractor Portable LEV System

Designing, Constructing and Installing a Local Exhaust Ventilation System to Minimize Welders\' Exposure to Welding Fumes

Background & Aims of the Study: Welder’s exposure to welding fumes can cause occupational diseases. The current study sought to examine exposure to welding fumes among welders who work in the repair shop of Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex and design a local exhaust ventilation system to control exposure to welding fumes. Materials & Methods: This applied analytical study was co...

Development of a visual Basic 6.0 based smart application for the design and selection of local exhaust ventilation systems

Introduction: Air pollution in industrial work environments has adverse effects on worker health, for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. These diseases impose direct and indirect costs on society. In hierarchy controls, local exhaust ventilation is considered an "engineering control" to remove or control contaminants released in indoor work environments. It is one of the...

Effectiveness of Local Exhaust Ventilation ( LEV ) in Controlling Engineered Nanomaterial Emissions During Reactor

T he National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the federal agency that conducts research and makes recommendations for preventing work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths. The NIOSH Nanotechnology Research Center coordinates the Institute’s laboratory, field, and information dissemination activities on the development of tools, practices, and recommendations for the g...

Designing, construction, assessment, and efficiency of local exhaust ventilation in controlling crystalline silica dust and particles, and formaldehyde in a foundry industry plant.

The purpose of the present study was to design and assess the efficiency of a local exhaust ventilation system used in a foundry operation to control inhalable dust and particles, microcrystal particles, and noxious gases and vapours affecting workers during the foundry process. It was designed based on recommendations from the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygiene. After desig...

Tobacco Industry Manipulation of Tobacco Excise and Tobacco Advertising Policies in the Czech Republic: An Analysis of Tobacco Industry Documents

BACKGROUND The Czech Republic has one of the poorest tobacco control records in Europe. This paper examines transnational tobacco companies' (TTCs') efforts to influence policy there, paying particular attention to excise policies, as high taxes are one of the most effective means of reducing tobacco consumption, and tax structures are an important aspect of TTC competitiveness. METHODS AND F...
