Industrial Hygiene Survey Report of Martin Marietta Missile and Electronics Group, Orlando, Florida, April 25-27, 1988,

PB89140180

Publication Date	1988
Personal Author	Piacitelli, G.; Votaw, D. M.; Krishnan, E. R.
Page Count	26
Abstract	A walk-through survey was made of the Martin Marietta Missile and Electronics Group, Orlando, Florida to evaluate worker exposure, protective equipment, and engineering controls used to reduce employee exposures to 2-methoxyethanol (109864) (2-ME), 2-methoxyethyl-acetate (110496) (2-MEA), 2-ethoxyethanol (110805) (2-EE), and 2-ethoxyethyl-acetate (111159) (2-EEA). The facility was involved in the design, development, and production of missile and electro-optical systems used for aircraft and naval combat weapons programs. Of 38 field samples collected for each of the four target ethylene glycol ethers, only nine samples indicated the presence of any of the compounds and one sample indicated more than one to be present. Some skin protection was afforded by gloves, but the workers wore only ordinary street clothes and no respirators. Peak exposures to 2-EEA in the Hellfire area occurred during the spray painting of missiles. The authors recommend that local exhaust ventilation be installed at work stations in the Patriot area and that impermeable coveralls be given to workers in the Hellfire and Patriot areas.
