Health Hazard Evaluation Report HETA 86-236-1725, San Francisco Opera Costume Shop, San Francisco, California

摘要

An employee representative of the San Francisco Opera Costume Shop (SIC-2389) requested an investigation of possible exposure to chemical substances by craftspersons and textile artists. No overexposure to chemicals was found during cloth stripping and dying operations, boot deglazing, hat lacquering, fabric painting or casting operations. During boot spray painting, two personal air samples contained methylene-chloride at 11.9 and 25 parts per million; both above the NIOSH recommended criteria for methylene-chloride exposure.
