Walk-Through Survey of Toluene at National Starch and Chemical Company, National Adhesives Division, Plainfield, New Jersey

摘要

The purpose of the report is to document past and present worker exposure to toluene and to assess the feasibility of a retrospective cohort mortality study. During Task 1 of this effort, a literature survey was conducted on toluene and personal contacts made to identify a cohort of workers exposed to pure toluene. As a result of this effort, recommendations were made to investigate toluene-based adhesive manufacturers and users. National Starch and Chemical Company was one of six selected as a manufacturer, and the results of the walk-through survey are included in this report.
