Research Roundup Construction 1 (AIHce EXP 2021 OnDemand)
Course Description: Recorded at AIHce EXP 2021 Urinary Bio Monitoring of Occupational Exposures to Epoxy Resins Among Construction Painters in Metal Structure Coating Epoxy resin systems are important commercial formulations that are used widely in construction protective coating of steel structures such as bridges, storage tanks and wind turbines, due to their excellent adhesion to surfaces, durability and anticorrosive properties.Epoxy coatings products used for painting metal structures in construction are two-component systems comprised of the epoxy part (BADGE and its oligomers) and the cross-linking agent part (e.g. amines, phenols, thiols, acid anhydrides, etc.). These parts are mixed in the workplace right before painting, triggering a polymerization reaction that leads to epoxy resin curing.Construction painters are exposed to epoxy paints via inhalation of overspray aerosols and vapors generated during painting and rolling/brushing, as well as the dermal route from direct contact with the raw uncured epoxy component during product mixing, painting and roller/brushing, contact with contaminated tools, cleaning and maintenance tasks, or from deposition of overspray aerosols directly onto surfaces and clothing. Co-Authors Yalong Xue Rebecca Gore Dhimiter Bello Presenter/Author: Dr. Anila Bello, Sc.D MSc, UMASS Lowell, Belmont, MA Characterization of Personal Exposures to Epoxy Paints in Construction by LC- MS/MS and Ion Chromatography Epoxy resins are extremely versatile products that are widely used in construction for coatings, adhesives, primers, and sealers. Occupational exposures to epoxies cause allergic contact dermatitis, occupational asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis (epoxy-resin lung) and acute decline in lung function.
