Hydrogen sulfide exposure in waste water treatment
Austigard, Åse Dalseth; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch; Heldal, Kari Emilie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background The aims of this study was to assess exposure to hydrogen sulphide (H2S) among waste water treatment workers (WWWs), and achieve a better measure of the risks of H2S exposure than only using the eight-hour ... -
Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) Exposure Hazard Assessment: An Algorithm for Generating Exposure Index Based on Direct Instrument Readings. Annals of Work Exposures and Health.
Austigard, Åse Dalseth; Smedbold, Hans Thore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objectives Increased use of small affordable alarm sensors with logging or network capabilities has improved the ability to monitor exposure. The large datasets generated from these monitors calls for development of a ... -
Risk Characteristics of Hydrogen Sulphide Exposure in Wastewater Collection and Treatment Related Occupations
Austigard, Åse Dalseth; Smedbold, Hans Thore; Svendsen, Kristin V Hirsch (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objectives Water and wastewater workers can be exposed to hydrogen sulphide (H2S), with an unpredictable exposure pattern, dominated by sharp peaks. These peaks can often be high above the ceiling value (CV) at 10 ...
