In the corporation's annual offshore performance report, published in mid-2013, the failure of an oil mist detector at Woodside Petroleum's Vincent oilfield in Western Australia was caused by faulty wiring and inadequately designed equipment.

There are oil mists to block the larvae's siphons and smother them, detergents to break the water's surface tension and drown them, bacterial toxins to poison them, and synthetic hormones to interfere with their growth.
33.
In a highly worn engine, gases can blow past the sides of the pistons and into the crankcase, creating excess oil mist, which is then drawn from the crankcase into the air intake via the breather.
34.
Using ball or roller bearings for the bearings in such engines has always been more common than the oil-fed plain bearings used for other engines, as these are more amenable to using this oil mist lubrication.
35.
Asthma-allergic health care workers are at risk from penicillins and other drugs, engineering workers from oil mists used in tool setting and electronics workers from a substance called colophony used in soft solder flux, it added.
36.
Roughly 250 chemicals have been found to cause occupational asthma : Grain dust has caused asthma in grain store workers; henna in hairdressers; flour in bakers; penicillin in pharmacists and oil mists in tool setters . . ..

Oil mist, smoke, dust and fume extraction equipment or LEV systems can make a significant difference to the air quality inside manufacturing facilities leading to reductions in health problems, accident risks and hazardous pollutants in the atmosphere.
38.
The International Association of Classification Societies ( IACS ) mandates that all ships with a cylinder diameter greater than 300mm or engine power over 2, 250 kW must be equipped with either bearing temperature detectors or oil mist detectors.
39.
In automotive parlance, windage refers to parasitic drag on the crankshaft due to sump oil splashing on the cranktrain during rough driving, and / or dissipating energy in turbulence from the cranktrain moving the crankcase gas and oil mist at high RPM . Windage may also inhibit the migration of oil into the sump and back to the oil pump, creating lubrication problems.
