Abstract
Mechanical screen printing causes occupational problems
due to the evaporation of solvent vapours in the
workplace air. Laboratory experiments were made in order
to find out the efficiency of the local exhaust
ventilation of a semiautomatic press with the help of
capture degree and occupational hygiene efficiency. In
the laboratory tests four different local exhaust
solutions were studied. In addition, the effect of local
supply air on the worker's breathing air quality was
determined. The properly designed local exhaust solutions
reduced the worker's solvent exposure by 80-95 %.
