Monoterpenes from sawing fresh wood

Sawing fresh wood releases monoterpenes and wood dust into the work environment; in sawmills, workers' monoterpene exposure was far higher while pine was processed (61 to 138 mg/m³) than spruce (2.0 to 13 mg/m³).

SCOPE

Geometric-mean exposures of 22 sawhouse workers in Finnish sawmills processing pine and spruce, not a small workshop.

SUPPORT CHECK
