Lösungsmittelverlusten

Lösungsmittelverlusten refers to the loss of solvents during production, storage, or usage processes. This phenomenon occurs when solvents escape from systems, such as industrial equipment, containers, or vehicles, due to factors like leaks, improper sealing, temperature fluctuations, or operational errors. Common sources include unsealed storage tanks, faulty machinery, and evaporation from open surfaces.

The impacts of solvent losses are multifaceted: they contribute to environmental pollution (contaminating air and water), result in economic costs (wasted resources and increased disposal expenses), and pose health risks (exposure to solvent vapors). To mitigate these issues, industries often implement measures like improved sealing technologies, solvent recovery systems, regular equipment maintenance, and compliance with environmental regulations (e.g., EU REACH). Effective management of solvent losses is crucial for sustainability and safety in various sectors, including manufacturing, automotive repair, and laboratory work.
