Peculiarities of air pollution in the production of continuous glass fiber

Abstract

With the use of a one-stage method we have carried out hygienic studies of the air of work area of the production of continuous glass fiber. There was revealed the emission of epichlorohydrin, formaldehyde, ethane acid, hydrochloride, spray of mineral petroleum oil, fine glass fiber dust in air of the work area. There was established the combined effect of hazardous substances of unidirectional action with the summation effect on the body. Hazardous substances containing in glass fiber sizers in combination with dust of glass fiber against the background of microtraumatization of the hand skin contribute to the development of occupational skin neoplasms. The studies became the basis of the development of preventive measures aimed at the reduction of risks of the impact of the chemical factor impact on workers.

Performance Characterization of Hot Mix Asphalt with High RAP Content and Basalt Fiber

“…For instance, cellulose fiber mainly has the function of absorbing and stabilizing asphalt binders rather than enhancing the strength of asphalt mixtures [34]. Polymer fibers exhibit inferior durability and dispersibility in asphalt mixtures [35], while glass fiber shows poor adhesion with asphalt binder due to its smooth texture [36].…”
