Abstract

Utilization of metalworking fluids in the technological process of metalworking brings its advantages and disadvantages, mainly associated with the contamination of the working air through cutting fluid mist. The primary aim of this article is to approximate the mechanism of aerosols generation which contaminates the working air and to draw the attention to the problem of quantification of generated aerosols that are to be kept to exposure limits. The focus has been placed on the mechanisms of cutting fluid mist formation via atomization on a stationary or a rotating workpiece and on the other hand, via vaporization. The next objective is to characterize health risks resulting from the utilization of metalworking fluids in the production process.
