German term or phrase: Eine Ausbreitung...
Original:
"Eine Ausbreitung der Schadstoffe am Arbeitsplatz und der Schutz der Arbeiter kann bei Einsatz von unseren Punk-tuellen Erfassungselementen mit Ernergieampeln, Staub-kanal und Hochvakuum-Schlauchaufrollern verhindert werden." -

da es so keinen Sinn macht, habe ich es umgeschrieben:

„Bei Einsatz unseren Punktuellen Erfassungselementen mit Energieampeln, Staubkanal und Hochvakuum-Schlauchaufrollern können eine Ausbreitung der Schadstoffe am Arbeitsplatz verhindert, so wie der Schutz der Arbeiter gewährleistet werden.“

Und jetzt bin ich der Meinung, dass meine Übersetzung etwas komisch klingt:

"With the use of our selective sensing elements with energy modules, dust channels and high-vacuum hose reels, dispersion of pollutants can be prevented and protection of workers guaranteed."

Kann mir vielleicht einer der Kollegen/eine der Kolleginnen helfen?
Danke!

agree  BrigitteHilgner: Good deed of the day? ;-) I agree with your suggestion (discussion entry) to rewrite the sentence. Have a nice evening! // No, no definitely yours! I avoid punishment.
8 mins
  -> Whose good deed, yours or mine? Decidedly yours! You, too Brigitte// Yes, and I'm a sucker for it, no pain, no gain.

agree  Michael Martin, MA: Yep, something along those lines..

Experimental and CFD study of unsteady airborne pollutant transport within an aircraft cabin mock-up
To understand the spreading mechanism it is very important to quantify the airflow and droplet transmission around a sneezing/coughing incident. In this project, tracer gas experiments were carried out in a full-scale Boeing 767-300 mock-up to study the global transport process of contaminated air within the cabin.
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/222926300_Experiment...

Abstract. The evaluation of the contaminant transport is dictated by the Federal Soil Protection Regulation (BBodSchV, 1999) for sites that are suspected to endanger the groundwater. …
This concept considers the estimation of the emission (E) of the contaminants i.e. the amount and concentration of the leachate of the contamination source in correlation with the time. …
In a second step, the transmission (T) i.e. the pollutant transport through the transmission (TI i.e. the pollutant transport through the unsaturated zone into the groundwater is evaluated.

Hazard Prevention and Control in the Work Environment: Airborne Dust
WHO/SDE/OEH/99.14
Chapter 7 - Control of Dust Transmission
Section 5.3 explained how dust could be controlled at emission, transmission or exposure stages. Chapter 6 dealt with control of emission. If dust emissions cannot be eliminated or reduced to the desired level by control of the source, ways to prevent dust transmission throughout the work environment must be considered, and that is the subject of this chapter
:
Contaminants should be directed away from the workers’ breathing zones,
which may be difficult to achieve, particularly when operations are scattered. A bad arrangement can mean that air moves from inlet to exhaust, bypassing workers and dust sources. … Another problem is that an air current coming from the back to the front of the body, can form turbulent eddies which bring the contaminated air up to the breathing zone, as illustrated in Figure 7-2.
:
The third component of the hazard classification in Table 5-I in Section 5.3 is the receptor - the human operator who receives the exposure. However, a human receptor is far from passive, and the worker’s activities affect the emission and transmission also. This must be taken into account in control.
http://www.who.int/occupational_health/publications/en/oehai...

It specified that “The first two types of controls, controlling at the source and controlling transmission, are commonly called ‘engineering controls’” but clarified the “if the source is unalterable through design or substitution, the next choice is to control or contain the dispersion of contaminant” …1) control at the emission source by substitution of materials, change of process or equipment, or other engineering means, 2) control of the transmission or dispersion of the contaminant by isolation, enclosure, ventilation, or other engineering means, and 3) control at the worker by personal protective equipment, work practices, administrative control, training or other means”

Types of Industrial Ventilation
Š
Local exhaust ventilation
– Capturing and removing contaminants at or near their sources of emission
– Prevents the transmission of contaminant to worker
– Given priority in “Hierarchy of Controls
source - transmission – receptor (figure)
