A survey was carried out in 15 leather goods manufactures in the Florence's Province in order to indicate the parameters for the evaluation of the exposure due to solvents by personal samplings. N-esano concentration was correlated to the following parameters: ventilation, volume of the premises, gluing surface of the articles, gluing process and relative methods. Aim of the survey was to point out the more useful parameters, to assess the glue users exposure, in order to effect improvements in the working process and premises of the workshops in the whole area. As a final result of the survey the parameter with the best correlation to n-hexane concentration was the one indicated as "gluing method". Some prevention advises are indicated.
