Information Paper 3/92 Solvent vapour hazards during painting with white-spirit-borne eggshell paints
Publication Year

Abstract
Concentrations of white-spirit vapour emitted during the painting of interior wall surfaces with eggshell paints have been measured. The effects of ventilation, surface area and temperature were examined, and the personal breathing zone monitored with charcoal absorbent tubes or an infrared gas analyser. Emission levels exceeded short-term exposure limits regularly even when forced or natural ventilation was applied to the workplace.
