INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE WALK-THROUGH SURVEY REPORT of Texas Petrochemicals Corporation Houston, Texas (formerly Petro Tex Chemical CorporationnPasadena, Texas)

摘要

The process line contained on line gas chromatography for quality control analysis. the company equipment data indicated that arithmetic and geometric time weighted average 1.3-butadiene exposures were 7.8 and 1.16 parts per million, respectively. The author concludes that the facility is suitable for and in depth survey. There appears to be a potential for 1.3-butadiene exposure during quality control sampling. Installation of a closed loop sampling system to reduce 1.3-butadiene exposure is recommended.
