Rubber Fumes & Dust Exposure Monitoring & Testing

Why and how should your organisation protect your employees from rubber fumes & dust exposure?

Employees working in industries processing and working with rubber products are likely to be exposed to hazardous rubber dust or fumes. Exposure monitoring for rubber dust and fumes is a complex process involving collection of personal samples and analysis for rubber dust, potentially carcinogenic fumes, and other compounds such as nitrosamines. Some of the compounds might not be used directly by the manufacturing but can be created during different stages of the rubber curing process.

Which employees are most at risk from rubber fumes & dust exposure?

Most at risk of rubber fumes & rubber dust are people working in:

• Plastic manufacturing industries
• General rubber manufacturing
• New tyres manufacturing
• Used tyre re-treading and recycling
• Plastic recycling and reuse
