| Abstract |
Worker exposure levels for normal plant operations in 4 fluorocarbon facilities were less than current permissible levels for the various jobs in all of the plants. Detailed industrial hygiene surveys were made to conduct personal and area sampling in 2 facilities manufacturing fluorocarbons and 2 in which fluorocarbons were used in products. The report describes the types of plants, processes and operations surveyed, employment and job descriptions, medical and industrial hygiene programmes, past exposures, sampling procedures and methods, current worker exposures and exposure control efforts. Recommendations are made to achieve minimal worker exposures. |
