Sanitary and hygienic assessment of polyurethane foam compositions

Abstract

Describes and presents the results of a long-term study performed by the Skochinski Institute and DonUGI into the suitability of various Soviet and foreign polyurethane foams as rock strengtheners in coal mines. Concludes that although further research is needed to clarify the effect of polyurethane absorbed by coal particles and on pneumoconioses, the industrial use of injectable polyisocyanite-based polyurethanes in amounts of up to 1 t/shift and with a minimum air exchange rate of 300 m{sup 3}/min is feasible as long as the safety laws are strictly observed. Those working with this material should be given a medical examination at least once a year. If the substance comes into contact with the skin or eyes, they should be washed with a 1-3% solution of sodium bicarbonate and then pure water; if it contaminates protective clothing this should be degassed in a 5-10% solution of ammonia for 24 hours and then washed. Due to the risk of toxic substances being released from the components of the polyurethane in the event of an endogenic fire, all workers should be equipped with their own personal breathing apparatus.
