Industrial Hygiene Survey Report of Worker Exposures to Organotins at Red Panther Chemical Company, Clarksdale, Mississippi.

PB86117504

Publication Date	1985
Personal Author	Eissler, A. W.; Bloom, T. F.; Walcott, R. J.
Page Count	36
Abstract	Breathing zone samples were analyzed for tricyclohexyltin-hydroxide (13121705) (TCHH) at Red Panther Chemical Company (SIC-2879, SIC-5191), Clarksdale, Mississippi in June, 1984. The survey was part of a NIOSH study for occupational exposure to organotins, as a component of an assessment to determine the feasibility of conducting a reproductive effects study. The samples were taken during production of a miticide containing TCHH. Company personnel records were reviewed. Work practices were observed. The authors conclude that most workers were exposed to organotin concentrations that exceeded the OSHA limit. TCHH concentrations should be reduced by improving local exhaust ventilation. The facility could contribute 24 potentially exposed workers to the NIOSH reproductive effects study.
