Abstract Personal and area air samples were analyzed for organotin compounds at an organic chemical production facility (SIC-2869) in Axis, Alabama in March and August, 1984. The survey was component of a NIOSH industrywide study of occupational exposures to organotin compounds as part of an assessment of the feasibility of conducting a survey of the reproductive effects of organotin exposure. Company employment records and historical industrial hygiene sampling data were reviewed. Company medical records were also examined. The author concludes that the facility could contribute 14 potentially exposed subjects to a reproductive effects study. Prompt clean up of organotin spills and increased use of respiratory protection equipment is recommended.
