Lacquer spraying may not only cause exposure to solvent vapours but also to
lacquer aerosols. So far, there has been no threshold limit value and thus
no assessment basis for this type of exposure. In connection with the dete
rmination of a legally binding limit value for the inhalable dust fraction
(general dust limit value) it is necessary to take account of the state of
the art at the concerned workplaces. Special framework conditions must be c
onsidered for lacquer aerosols.
