Publication Date 1973
Page Count 56
Abstract Worker exposures to coal-tar-pitch (65996932) volatiles and other hazards were surveyed at six aluminum (7429905) factories in the northwestern United States during 1973. Air samples were analyzed for benzene (71432) soluble materials, total dust, carbon-monoxide (630080), sulfur-dioxide (7446095), hydrogen-fluoride (7664393), and total fluoride (7782414). Urine samples from potline workers were analyzed for fluoride. Heat stress and noise measurements also were taken. The author recommends an epidemiologic study of aluminum workers. Better ventilation systems, work practices, and respirator use programs also are suggested.
