Multimethod Approach to Investigate the Factors Influencing High-Temperature Fuming of Bitumen.

Bitumen is heated at high temperatures during asphalt paving applications. In these circumstances, there is the possibility for fuming. These fumes can vary in intensity and, if significant, may attract complaints.

Sample Preparation and Analytical Methods for Identifying Organic Compounds in Bituminous Emissions.

Bitumen is a major construction material that can emit harmful fumes when heated. These fumes pose health risks to workers and communities near construction projects or asphalt mixing plants. The chemical complexity of bitumen fumes and the increasing use of additives add to the difficulty of analytically quantifying the harmful chemicals emitted using a single technique.
