Abstract
A Monte Carlo simulation using a diffusion based exposure assessment model was employed to aid forecasting of solvent vapour concentrations in the workspace during wipe cleaning of metal component. Range values for the important variables were chosen so as to be appropriate for wipe cleaning with either highly volatile solvents such as Vertrel-MCA or HFE71DE or with less volatile solvents such as n-propylbromide (nPBr). Emphasis is put on confirming that the range values of variables and the distributions taken are applicable to the workplace environment so that the simulation values obtained are reasonable estimates of the true vapour concentrations. The results obtained using Monte Carlo forecasts are considered most useful when taken in conjunction with the relevant occupational exposure limits for the solvents in question
期刊介绍：
Transactions of the Institute of Metal Finishing provides international peer-reviewed coverage of all aspects of surface finishing and surface engineering, from fundamental research to in-service applications. The coverage is principally concerned with the application of surface engineering and coating technologies to enhance the properties of engineering components and assemblies. These techniques include electroplating and electroless plating and their pre- and post-treatments, thus embracing all cleaning pickling and chemical conversion processes, and also complementary processes such as anodising. Increasingly, other processes are becoming important particularly regarding surface profile, texture, opacity, contact integrity, etc.
