Abstract |
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) performed in-depth industrial hygiene surveys at five locations to characterize occupational health hazards in the phosphate fertilizer industry. Four fertilizer plants (plants A-D) and one phosphate ore mining and beneficiation facility (plant E) were selected. Measurements were conducted for fluoride, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, cadmium, chromium, uranium, vanadium, arsenic, respirable free silica, and respirable quartz. This report includes recommendations for further sampling for Chromium (IV) as well as the establishment and enforcement of an aggressive personal protective equipment program for all workers. |
