• Description:
  Asphalt fumes cause health effects such as headaches, nausea, and drowsiness. They are also linked to lung cancer. Asphalt kettles cause both continuous exposure to fumes that escape and occasional exposures when the lid is opened for filling or loading. In general, the higher the asphalt temperature, the more fumes are produced.
