Metalworking Mist From Metalworking Machines: Resource Center

"Metalworking Mist From Metalworking Machines &  Metalworking Machinery:
Resource Center"

Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are fluids used during machining and grinding to lengthen the life of the tool, to carry away particles of debris, and to protect the surface area of  the metalworking machinery.

These fluids reduce friction between the cutting tool and the metalworking machine work surface, reduce wear and galling, protect surface characteristics, reduce surface adhesion or welding and carry away generated heat.

Workers can be exposed to MWFs by inhaling aerosols (mists) and by skin contact with the fluid.

 Skin contact occurs by dipping the hands into the fluid, splashes, or handling work-pieces coated with the fluids. The amount of mist generated (and the resulting level of exposure) depends on many factors:

1. The type of MWF and its application process;

2. The MWF temperature;

3. The specific machining or grinding operation;

4. The presence of splash guarding;

5. And the effectiveness of the air purification system in capturing and removing the mist.

Substantial scientific evidence indicates that workers currently exposed to MWF aerosols and industrial mist have an increased risk of respiratory [lung] and skin diseases. These health effects vary based on the type of MWF, route of exposure, concentration, and length of exposure.
