Contribution to the study of particle resuspension kinetics during thermal degradation of polymers

► We experiment the airborne release of particles during thermal degradation of polymers. ► A “peak of release” was identified during the first instances of thermal stress of Plexiglas. ► The duration of the peak of release was linked to the heat flux applied to the Plexiglas. ► Heat flux has a low influence on the airborne release fraction (ARF). ► The influence of the diameter of particles on the ARF depends on polymer.
