Health Hazard Evaluation Determination Report No. 79-127-644, Digital Equipment Corporation, Colorado Springs, Colorado

摘要

A health hazard evaluation was conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) at the Digital Equipment Corporation, Colorado Springs, Colorado, on August 28, 1979. Breathing zone and general room air samples were taken for 1,1,2-trichloro 1,2,2-trifluoroethane (Freon-113r). Environmental concentrations were less than 15 percent of the evaluation criteria of 7600 mg/cu M. All workers were interviewed. The interviews were directed towards possible effects of exposure to Freon-113, phosgene, and carbonyl fluoride exposures. At the time of this evaluation none of the workers reported any symptoms. Several said they were sick previously but had not had a reoccurrence in over a month. Based on employee interviews and the low levels of Freon-113, a health hazard did not exist at the time of this evaluation.
