Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
There was investigated the working conditions of 14 house painters during 19 days of work. Air samples from the inhalation zone collected on charcoal tubes revealed a geometric mean exposure level of 929 mg/m3 Stoddard solvent vapour. The paint work was mainly done by rolling or spraying.

Results and discussion

Details on results:
In 24 out of 30 samples the levels exceeded 600 mg/m3. Short-term peak exposures estimated from air samples collected on gas pipettes while paint was being sprayed showed a geometric mean of 4038 mg/m3 (95-100% of the total organic volatile compounds was estimated to be Stoddard solvent).
