PROBLEMS OF MODELING AND FORECASTING OF INHALATION EXPOSURES TO WORKERS IN ELECTROCHEMICAL OPERATIONS (IN TERMS OF AN EXAMPLE OF ELECTROCHEMICAL METHOD OF LEAD-ACID CELL PROCESSING)
The deals with the problem of lead-acid cells processing by the electrochemical method. The problems of modeling the emission of pollutants in electrochemical operations and related problems of inhalation exposures prediction to workers have been considered. The paper also deals with the mechanisms of harmful substances escape to the air of working zone at the stage of electrolysis in the electrochemical lead-acid cells processing, the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the effect of organic additives on the pollutants emission intensity from the electrolyte surface. During the investigation by the dimension analysis, the additional similarity criteria taking into account the organic matter effect on the emissions of fluorides have been determined. The criteria dependence type has been specified at the study.
