Abstract Environmental and breathing zone samples were analyzed for 1,3-butadiene (106990) at the Texaco Chemical Company (SIC-2869), Port Neches, Texas in April, 1985. Company industrial hygiene monitoring data was reviewed. Engineering controls and work practices were observed. The highest exposures occurred for laboratory technicians cleaning sample cylinders. Engineering controls consisted of single and dual mechanical seals on 1,3-butadiene pumps. Quality control sampling involved on line gas chromatographs and open loop systems.
