Abstract |
An industrial hygiene survey was conducted by NIOSH at Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Bloomington, Indiana, on April 19-22, 1977, to determine the level of exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls during the manufacture of capacitors. Approximately 58 air samples were collected for evaluation of polychlorinated biphenyls exposures. In addition, air samples were collected to evaluate exposures to solvents, soldering fumes, welding fumes and ozone. The polychlorinated biphenyl currently used is Aroclor 1016. Based on observations made during the survey and the results of the air samples, conclusions are drawn and recommendations for improvements made. The use of polychlorinated biphenyls is being phased out, but the recommendations will limit exposure no matter what fluid is used. |
