摘要

A walkthrough survey of Exxon Chemical Americas (SIC-2869), Baton Rouge, Louisiana was conducted in June, 1984. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information on the 1,3-butadiene (106990) monomer manufacturing process and the potential for occupational exposure. The facility manufactured 1,3-butadiene by the ethylene coproduct process. Production occurred in a closed system, tightly maintained for economic and fire safety reasons. Engineering controls consisted of tandem or single seals on all pumps.
