“…Use of observational exposure surveys is a well-established method in the epidemiology and exposure literature on the assessment of inhalation and dermal exposures (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). Psychosocial components of behavior have been examined previously in the field of industrial hygiene to address issues such as worker pesticide exposure and worker low-back pain (11,13,17).…”

“…Semiquantitative estimates of dermal exposure were used in a study of adverse health effects among tannery workers (17,18). The assessment of skin exposure was based on a three-point scale of no contact with the agent of interest, moderate contact (infrequent skin contact with the agent, eg, contact occurred during specific activities that were not part of the daily work routine), and frequent contact (frequent skin contact, eg, regular contact was unavoidable due to the activities performed daily).…”

“…The implementation of a CE strategy and valorization of leather waste will reduce waste management and emission control costs. Tanning residues can be used for the extraction of fats or oils and for the production of biofuels [15]. Waste from the leather industry can be used to produce biodegradable re-tanning agents [4].…”

The tanning industry generates significant amounts of solid waste and post-production wastewater, which should be managed in accordance with the principles of the circular economy. Waste is generated at various technological stages of production. This comprises mainly solid waste and leachate. A comprehensive solution to the problem of disposal of this waste is very important from economic and environmental points of view. This work presents research for a technological production line designed for the comprehensive processing of post-production residues. In the present paper, the authors present an analysis related to the possibility of processing leather flesh side (mizdra) as a substrate for methane fermentation. The study showed an increased biogas production from solid waste after enzymatic hydrolysis up to 248 Nm3/Mg. Preliminary research on the system designed for pre-treatment of sewage from the technological line is also presented. The study showed a COD reduction of more than 30%. The possibility of energy management of the solid fraction directly from the processes carried out is demonstrated.
