[Presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria and fungi in the cooling-lubricating emulsion used in the aluminum sheet rolling process].
Microbiological tests of aluminium rolling water-oil emulsion reveal high level of contamination: relatively anaerobic bacteria 10(6)-10(8) cells/ml, fungi and yeasts 10(3)-10(4) cells/ml, and also anaerobic bacteria Desulfovibrie sp. reducing sulfates to hydrogen sulfide. In emulsion samples there were present bacterial strains potentially dangerous to health, belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae, Vibrionaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Bacillaceae. The fungi and yeasts found in the emulsion were identified as: Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Cladosporium sp., Cephalosporium sp., Candida sp. The emulsion sprayed in aerosol in air of the mill was the infecting source for the workers. The emulsion was protected by a biocid and thus the growth of potentially pathogenic microorganisms was inhibited.
