Understanding Oil Mist and Dust in CNC Machining #
Oil mist and dust are common by-products generated during CNC machining processes. These fine particles, including PM2.5, are produced through high-temperature gasification or pyrolysis of solids and liquids. Their presence in the workplace can pose significant health and safety risks if not properly managed.
The Nature and Risks of Oil Mist and Dust #
- Dust Particles:
- Particles smaller than 5µm are typically invisible and can remain airborne for extended periods.
- Particles under 10µm can be inhaled, potentially causing respiratory issues.
- Oil Mist Particles:
- Particles smaller than 2.5µm may penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream, increasing the risk of asthma, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.
Health Hazards Associated with Exposure #
Prolonged exposure to oil mist and dust can result in:
- Allergies and respiratory diseases (such as asthma and pulmonary emphysema)
- Elevated risks of lung and liver cancer
- Cardiovascular complications
- Increased likelihood of premature birth and higher mortality rates
Installing an oil mist collector on your CNC machine is essential for safeguarding workers and maintaining compliance with workplace safety standards.
