Sažetak
Apart from causing allergic diseases and occupational asthma, exposure to wood dust can also cause the development of nose and nasal cavity cancer. Hazardous effects come not only from wood but also from the content of non-wood material - glues, stains, finishes, preservatives. The properties of chipped wood during mechanical processing and the emission of airborne wood dust at the workplace are determined by types of tool machines and cutting parameters as well as by the type of the processed material. The highest exposure of operators to respirable wood dust has been measured in sanding beech-wood, and a considerably lower exposure of operators to wood dust has been measured in processing wood by use of a four sided planer and boring machine. In view of particle size distribution of wood dust generated by sanding, particles smaller than 250 mm account for the highest percentage (96 %), and particles of the same size generated by boring and planing only account for 13 % and 1 %, respectively.
