摘要

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request from the Health and Safety Manager at West Virginia University, Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center in Morgantown, West Virginia, to conduct an indoor air quality investigation in the Student Health Services employee office area. Employees had expressed concerns about the air quality including the possibility that exposure to photographic chemicals leaking into the office space from the area above might have caused health effects experienced by employees. Primary health concerns were asthma and other respiratory health problems. The NIOSH response consisted of numerous phone interviews with the requester to gather information, two site visits, and review of material safety data sheets and other information.
