What is Oil Mist? Oil Mist is created by Machine Tools spraying high pressure oils and coolants onto metal components to keep them cool during milling, drilling, turning and grinding operations . Mist creates health hazards to the machine operators and also has a negative effect on the whole working environment.
Hazards of Oil Mist Oil mist > 3.5 microns Separated in nose and throat Oil mist 1 > < 3.5 microns Retained by throat, bronchial tubes and lungs Oil Mist < 1 microns Absorbed into bloodstream
Additional hazards Slippery walkways can cause accidents Fire hazard caused by oil coating surfaces Oil mist enters electrical control panels causing faults
Global Oil Mist Limits and Guidelines Many international governments or global MNCs set their own limits for oil mist. OSHA (USA) 5mg/m³. Oil mist can be measured in a number of ways including using a Dustrak Aerosol Monitor which measures aerosol contaminants such as dust, smoke, fumes, and mists.
