Review Of The Potential Health Effects Associated With Particle Emissions From Gas-Fired Furnaces

Rates of particle emission from glass furnaces exceed those allowed under the relevant process guidance note. The emitted particles, however, are largely composed of sodium sulphate, which being highly soluble and already present dissolved form in blood and tissue, would not be expected to have a substantial effect on the respiratory health of exposed individuals. This independent review was undertaken to assess the potential health effects that might be associated with particle emissions from gas-fired glass furnaces.
