摘要

In April 2003, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a health hazard evaluation (HHE) request from the Joint Pacific Marine Safety Code Committee to evaluate worker exposure to diesel exhaust during marine container handling operations. From September 2003 to July 2005, field surveys were conducted at the Long Beach, California; Oakland, California; and Tacoma, Washington marine terminals to measure diesel exhaust, carbon monoxide (CO), and airborne particulate concentrations, and to conduct medical interviews with concerned workers.
