National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Control of Air Contaminants in Tire Manufacturing.

PB85173573

Publication Date	1984
Personal Author	McKinnery, W. N.; Heitbrink, W. A.
Page Count	138
Abstract	Based upon a series of seven field studies and the associated in-depth plant reports, this report recommends approaches for the control of air contaminants in tire manufacturing plants. Because manufacturing operations vary, the application of these recommendations requires sound professional judgement. The control of air contaminants in industry is an interdisciplinary task which requires expertise in a number of different professions. Sections II, III, and IV stress this point. This report is organized into four sections and five appendices. Sections II and III are the heart of the report. Section II concerns observed engineering controls and observed effectiveness of those controls. Section III discusses specific work practices. Sections I and IV present an introduction and specific research recommendations based on field studies, respectively. In the course of this study, controls were discussed and then selected for study on the basis of good design. A more detailed study of these controls showed that work practices and maintenance significantly affect a control's performance. The information gained during this study confirms there is more to a control of air contaminants than just 'good engineering.'
