This study aims to highlight the similarities and differences between occupational exposure measured (personal and static) and modelled data using the Tier 2 Advanced REACH Tool (ART 1.5) for some organic solvents used in degreasing, varnishing and painting activities. The measurements were performed between 2020 and 2022 in a Romanian company manufacturing metallic components for the energy industry. The conclusion of the study will allow identifying some of the uncertainties related to the use of modelled data versus measured data, and to decide on the adequate operational conditions (OCs) and risk management measures (RMMs) to implement in place, in accordance with the hierarchy of control principles.
