    Workers exposed to dusts and gases in foundries face several health risks, including silicosis from silica dust exposure, bronchitis, and reduced lung function. Proper sampling methods and equipment are needed to test for and measure airborne contaminants. Employers must ensure workers have a safe working environment and are protected from hazardous exposures.

    Health Risks

    Exposed to dusts (Silica dust, Exposed to gases, vapours & other


    Chromite & Olivine Sand): contaminants:

    • Silicosis • Respiratory tract


    • Bronchitis irritation
    • Reduced lung function • Metal fume fever (dry
    • Eye irritation throats, chills & sweat)
    • Headache
    • Dizziness
    Taking sample

    • Device used: • Method used: XRD (X-Ray Diffraction)


    • Gravimetric Dust Sampler Analytical Technique
    • Provides time-weight-average • There must be sufficient mass of
    respirable dust concentration dust to got the measurement.
    • Dorr-Oliver Cyclone separates • After getting sufficient mass of
    respirable and oversize dust dust sample, it will obtain a
    • Pump operated at 1.7litres per qualitative X-ray diffraction scan to
    minute determine the presence of dust.

    Conclusion
    Working with airborne
    contaminants is definitely not
    an easy thing which require
    workers to be more careful and
    cautious while working with it

    • .

    Employers should ensure their


    workers are working in safe
    working environment.
