Health Hazard Evaluation Report No. HETA-82-062-1077, Boise Medical Arts Center, Boise, Idaho

摘要

In December 1981, NIOSH received a request from Commercial Management, the building management firm of the Boise Medical Arts Center, to determine the source of intermittent odors and the cause of headaches, nausea, and, on one occasion, vomiting being experienced by workers in the basement level of the Boise Medical Arts Center, Boise, Idaho. The recommendations made by NIOSH, which have since been accomplished, were to seal all accessible cracks and joints and to adjust the ventilation system to pressurize the building (it had been under negative pressure relative to the outside air). Since these corrections have been made, the petroleum product vapors are no longer detectable in the building and the employees' symptoms have ceased.
