Environmental impact of magnetic particle inspection

Abstract

Just as care must be taken to ensure that operators and other people working nearby are not exposed to hazards in the application of magnetic particle inspection, so the environment must be protected. During the formulation of materials for magnetic particle inspection care is taken to use as raw materials chemicals which can be managed in manufacture, use and disposal in such a way as to cause minimal impact on the environment. Concern for the environment is not new; however, public awareness of the need for its protection is at a very high level currently.
