Solvent glues are used in a wide variety of industries, e.g., textile, footwear and rubber. The problem of workers' exposure to solvent vapors is rarely tackled within the area of occupational safety and health in small and medium-sized enterprises.
In order to assess exposure to solvents, organic solvents emitted by glues were identified in the samples of workplace air. The concentration of acetone, benzene, cyclohexane, ethylbenzene, n-hexane, methylcyclohexane, butyl acetate and toluene were determined.
The obtained results evidenced the presence of cyclohexane, ethylbenzene, ethylcyclohexane, heptane, n-hexane, o-xylene, methylcyclohexane, methylcyclopentane, butyl acetate and toluene in workplace air. The concentration of those compounds in workplace air was low, usually below 0.15 of MAC. At some workstations the presence of benzene was also observed. Occupational risk was assessed at workstations where gluing took place. It showed that the risk at those workstations was medium or low.
溶剂型胶水在众多行业中使用，如纺织、制鞋和橡胶行业。在中小企业的职业安全与健康领域，工人接触溶剂蒸气的问题很少得到解决。
为评估溶剂暴露情况，在工作场所空气样本中识别胶水释放的有机溶剂。测定了丙酮、苯、环己烷、乙苯、正己烷、甲基环己烷、乙酸丁酯和甲苯的浓度。
所得结果证明工作场所空气中存在环己烷、乙苯、乙基环己烷、庚烷、正己烷、邻二甲苯、甲基环己烷、甲基环戊烷、乙酸丁酯和甲苯。这些化合物在工作场所空气中的浓度较低，通常低于职业接触限值（MAC）的0.15。在一些工作站也观察到了苯的存在。对进行胶合操作的工作站进行了职业风险评估。结果表明，这些工作站的风险为中度或低度。
