Improvement of methods and means of protection from welding aerosols
O.G. Levchenko
E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NASU 11 Kazymyr Malevych Str., 03150, Kyiv, Ukraine.Abstract
The paper presents a review of works conducted at the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute concerning welders's protection from the harmful effect of welding aerosols. The need in an integrated approach, i.e. the combination of technological and sanitary-technical measures with a use of effective means of individual protection of respiratory organs of the welders, is substantiated
Keywords: welding aerosols, technological recommendations, filter-ventilation units, means of individual protection of respiratory organs of welders, computer information-retrieval system, hygienic characteristics of welding aerosols
