Research Ambient Air Industrial Hygiene Survey of the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center at Bruceton,Pennsylvania. Final Report,April 15--August 30, 1978.

摘要

This ambient air industrial hygiene evaluation was made in six selected process areas at the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center on April 15--August 30, 1978. Personal and area sampling for predetermined dusts,vapors,gases and fumes was conducted with NIOSH approved equipment and procedures. The sample analyses were performed at the Industrial Health Foundation's AIHA accredited Analytical Laboratory. The results,reported as time-weighted average concentrations during the sampling period,indicate compliance with the present OSHA permissible values except for benzene concentrations in both laboratory areas. The present benzene TLV was exceeded on one occasion in each of the laboratory areas. These results indicate a need for periodic monitoring of both areas. Recommendations involve additional local exhaust ventilation,adjustable hood windows and periodic benzene sampling. (ERA citation 04:038043)
