Record 3 2016-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chimneys (Building Elements)
CONT

Instructions call for "chimney sweeping logs" to be burned one at a time in a wood stove or fireplace. According to diagrams and promotional literature of two companies marketing the logs in North America, minerals in the smoke react with the creosote(flammable residue) left by the passage of smoke through the chimney. Thereafter, over the course of 15 days, the creosote is said to break away from the flue, or smoke passageway, and fall into the fireplace.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cheminées (Éléments du bâtiment)
CONT

La bûche de ramonage atteint sa pleine efficacité lorsque le conduit à nettoyer est chaud. En effet, les éléments catalytiques à base de sel métallique ne se dégageront que lorsque la bûche sera à l'état de braise.

Record 5 2012-02-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Lungs
  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Mining Dangers and Mine Safety
DEF

An occupational disease of coal workers resulting from deposition of coal dust in the lungs.

OBS

Black lung disease is the common name for coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) or anthracosis, a lung disease of older workers in the coal industry, caused by inhalation, over many years, of small amounts of coal dust.

OBS

anthracosis : A histological term describing the accumulation of black pigment in lung tissue or in other organs. In the lung the accumulation often appears as macular lesions, usually in a centrilobular location, along the walls of bronchioles, but also along interlobular septa or in the subpleural space. This pigment is mainly composed of carbonaceous material and may originate from cigarette smoke(or other smoked drugs, such as crack cocaine), atmospheric pollution, residential exposure to wood(or biomass) smoke or occupational exposure to carbon-containing dusts, such as diesel exhaust, soot, fly ash, carbon black, graphite and coal. Thus a more or less marked degree of anthracosis may be found in nonsmoking urban residents from heavily polluted areas or in inhabitants(often females) of poor countries with a cold climate(so-called ’hut lung’). Anthracosis is only rarely associated with overt pulmonary disease, except after prolonged, heavy, usually occupational exposure, when the condition is preferably labelled as a pneumoconiosis, e. g. graphite pneumoconiosis(graphitosis) or coal workers pneumoconiosis. The latter pneumoconiosis is often called anthracosilicosis(particularly in continental Europe), because this pneumoconiosis has been considered to be caused predominantly by the silica content of coal dust. While this may be true in many instances, the use of anthracosilicosis to indicate coal worker's pneumoconiosis is probably not entirely appropriate, because the pathology of coal workers pneumoconiosis is different from that of silicosis.

OBS

black phthisis; colliers’ phtisis: obsolete.

OBS

bituminosis; melanedema; miners’ asthma: obsolete and incorrect.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Poumons
  • Santé et sécurité au travail
  • Exploitation minière (dangers et sécurité)
DEF

Pneumoconiose due à une infiltration massive de poussières de charbon chez des individus exposés professionnellement à une atmosphère très polluée.

OBS

L'existence d'anthracose pure est controversée. Il semble qu'il s'agisse plus souvent d'une anthracosilicose, la silice entrant en plus ou moins grande quantité dans la composition de la poussière de charbon.

OBS

Comparer avec «anthracose» et avec «anthracosilicose».

OBS

neumoconiosis: es un proceso respiratorio crónico, de marcha tórpida, que consiste en una fibrosis pulmonar linfoectásica consecutiva a la inhalación de diversas clases de polvos, aspirados durante años en el ejercicio de distintas profesiones (molineros, mineros, picapedreros, etc.)

OBS

La primera [neumoconiosis producida por polvos inorgánicos] conocida fue la antracosis, tan frecuente entre los mineros de carbón. Hoy se sabe que no es producida por el polvo de carbón, sino por el cuarzo mezclado con él, o sea que en realidad es una silicosis

OBS

artículo 153. 12. antracosis. Mineros (de las minas de carbón), carboneros, herreros, soldadores, forjadores, fundidores, fogoneros, deshollinadores y demás trabajadores expuestos a inhalación de polvos de carbón de hulla, grafito y antracita.

Record 6 2011-10-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drying Techniques (Farming)
  • Tobacco Industry
CONT

Fire-curing is done in barns in which an open wood fire on the dirt floor gives off smoke which circulates among the hanging leaves, giving it a characteristic creosote aroma over 3 to 10 weeks treatment; burning aromatic wood, such as cedar in Syria gives the tobacco a distinctive fragrance.

French

Domaine(s)

Record 7 2010-06-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
  • Meats and Meat Industries
  • Food Preservation and Canning
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

The increase in smoked fish consumption began in the 90's with the development of smoked salmon, now the most consumed smoked species before trout and herring... Regarding samples processed by a friction generator and traditional smoking(FT), they can have specific odours such as "wood fire smoke", "butter" and, to a lesser extent, "caramel", particularly when smoked under 32 C.

OBS

The comparison of the level of smoking of the samples, evaluated by the odour intensity, shows that the friction generator has a lower efficiency for smoke production compared to the autocombustion generator.
