Abstract
This study, conducted both on site and in the laboratory shows that pa rket workers are exposed to organic solvents and formaldehyde when usi ng classical varnishes. Respirators must be used when working > 1/2 h. On the other hand, modem water-based varnishes do not produce dangero us volatile solvents nor formaldehyde.
