Abstract	Worker exposure to vinyl-chloride (75014) (VC) were determined at the Ethyl Corporation (SIC-2824) in Pasadena, Texas on May 9, 1974. The survey was part of a NIOSH study of the health effects of occupational exposure to VC. Twenty workers were directly involved with VC production and another 15 workers performed maintenance work on VC process equipment. The company maintained a part-time medical director and had access to an industrial hygienist. Air samples for VC vapor concentrations occurred due to leaks from a VC pump. At most work sites, VC exposure was low. The authors recommend that workers exposed to VC be provided with air supplied respirators.
