Calibration Factors for Haze and Fog in the Film Industry
Calibration Factors for Haze and Fog in the Film Industry

With the increased use of fog-based products in the entertainment industry, interest in the health effects of fog exposures among workers in the industry has also grown. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) requested Aura Health and Safety Corporation (Aura) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) to conduct air monitoring of fog aerosol exposures. Since fog special effects used in film and theatrical productions typically use organic-based fog products, the focus of the study involves examining glycol and glycerin-based fogs.

This report was submitted to IATSE by Aura Health & Safety Corporation in April 2018.
