Is it harmful to health to produce high-purity metal sputtering targets?

The production of high-purity metal sputtering target involves some chemical and physical processes, which may produce harmful substances such as dust, gas and noise. If these substances are not properly controlled and protected, they may affect workers' health. The following are some possible dangers:

1. Metal dust: In the production process, metal dust, such as aluminum, copper, tungsten, titanium and other metals, may be generated. If you inhale too much metal dust, it may cause diseases such as respiratory system and digestive system, such as asthma, lung cancer and cirrhosis.

2. Sputtering gas: In the sputtering process, argon, nitrogen and other gases may have an impact on human body. For example, too much argon will reduce the oxygen concentration in the air and cause suffocation; Too much nitrogen can lead to suffocation or oxygen poisoning.

3. Noise: Sputtering equipment will produce noise, and long-term exposure to high-noise environment will cause health problems such as hearing loss.

Therefore, enterprises that produce high-purity metal sputtering targets need to take corresponding protective measures, such as strengthening ventilation, wearing masks and earplugs, etc., to protect workers' health. In addition, we must abide by the relevant labor safety and health regulations and standards, and establish perfect health monitoring and preventive measures to ensure the safety and health of the working environment.
