Health Hazard Evaluation Report HETA 92-106-2313 LORAL Command and Control, Colorado Spring, Colorado

摘要

In response to a request from management personnel at LORAL Command and Control, Colorado Springs, Colorado, an investigation was undertaken of possible hazardous working conditions at that location. Workers in the specialty engineering section of Building 9975 had reported skin rash and irritation, a burning facial sensation, nose irritation and eye irritation. Air sample analysis revealed the presence of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, limonene, 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane and cellosolve-acetate. Trace amounts of branched alkanes, xylenes, hexanol and toluene were also noted. Temperature and relative humidity analyses indicated that the levels were within the appropriate ranges. The author concludes that results of the analyses did not indicate that a health hazard existed at this facility.
