| Summary: | all employees and the general population during the also measured, averaged and contrasted with the current are not enclosed and exposures can be significantly higher. carcinogen, is formed during the polymerization process of closed systems and personnel exposures to styrene are usually Collectively, the data provides a basis for recommendations compared against styrene levels from each major process in current TNRCC regulations and previous industry studies. effects related to styrene and styrene oxide exposures. A fabrication process was made and compared to previous facility located in Texas during June and July of 1994. This further investigations that will uncover all adverse health investigation began with infrared measurement of the levels investigation uncovered a little known correlation between levels of styrene were measured and contrasted with the levels. The desired achievement of this study is to prompt low. However, in the cultured marble industry, the processes manufacture of styrene monomer is generally carried out in marble industry while reducing associated risks. numerous health problems. Research during the course of this of styrene monomer emitted into the surrounding facility and outside ambient air. These concentrations were tabulated and production of cultured marble building materials. The regulatory limits. Finally, the existing stack emission removal effectiveness of the ventilation system was evaluated safeguards that can increase productivity in the cultured studies. Actual personnel exposures in the facility were styrene and styrene oxide. Styrene oxide, a known styrene. Both are emitted during the mixing of materials in the concentration levels of styrene emitted during the the cultured marble process. Test data for the investigation the fabrication of cultured marble. Additionally, the The objective of this research is to investigate and evaluate Then, an assessment of the potential exposures to styrene for These occupational exposures to styrene can result in thorough understanding of the potential hazards will lead to to improve facility ventilation and to lower styrene exposure using smoke patterns and standard duct velocity measurements. was collected at a small cultured marble manufacturing |
