This paper provided a general introduction to metalworking fluids, reviewed the benefits and negative effects attributed to the production of mist during cutting processes. Due to the increasing concern over workers exposed to cutting fluid mist, and to achieve the recommended exposure limit, much attention was focused on how to minimize or prevent the mist formation.
