In response to a request from the United Rubber, Cork, Linoleum, and PlasticWorkers of America, an investigation was conducted into possible hazardous working conditions in department 634, Gen Corp Automotive (SIC-3061), Logansport, Indiana. Workers had reported skin problems and reproductive problems, and had expressed concern about exposure to solvents and nitrosamines.
