Abstract	In August 1980, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request from the Directorate of Technical Support, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor, for medical and technical assistance at the Caterpillar Tractor Company of York, PA. During September 1980, NIOSH visited the facility for a walk-through inspection. Fifteen employees in the D-2 building were interviewed; they reported that the eye, nose and throat irritation problems had been gradually improving since early 1980 as a result of recently increased general ventilation. No one was currently symptomatic; therefore, it was decided to monitor the health complaints prospectively for three months.
