Application of a control banding tool for risk level assessment and control of nanoparticles exposure in welding operations. In 3rd International Congress in Environmental Health – ICEH 2014, Porto (Portugal), 24-26 September 2014.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/5422Scope of study: welding operations result in harmful emissions of nanoparticles; the aim of emissions monitorisation is to evaluate exposure levels and to derive protection measures in order to protect exposed workers; however, the traditional approach of comparing measured concentrations with exposure limits cannot be used; but risk levels can be quantified by using Control Banding Strategies.engOccupational healthRisk exposureNanoparticlesWelding operationsconference object
