Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA-86-018-1758: Robbins & Myers, Incorporated, Moyno Products Division; Springfield, Ohio

In response to a request from Robbins and Myers, Inc., an investigation was made of a possible health hazard at its Moyno Products Division (SIC-3561), Springfield, Ohio. A case of vitiligo, possibly related to working with rubber products in pump manufacture was identified by a dermatologist. Eighty-six participants in a medical survey were current or former employees in the rubber handling area. A job exposure ranking system was used to estimate exposure to rubber products and spray adhesive. Material samples were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry after heating or ethanol extraction and by GC after extraction by carbon-disulfide. Uncured and cured rubber was found to contain 2,4-di-tertiary-butyl-phenol (96764) (DTBP) (0.01 to 0.03 percent) and para-tertiary-butyl-phenol (98544) (too low to quantitate). This class of compounds has been associated with vitiligo. Medical survey and examinations revealed four cases of active vitiligo. Its presence was significantly associated with highest exposure to rubber. Rubber department workers had a 22-fold higher risk for the condition compared to other employees. Comparing the four observed cases with an expected 1.1 cases (Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) yielded a standardized morbidity ratio of 3.6. The authors conclude that exposure to DTBP in rubber is the cause of vitiligo in these workers. Recommendations include testing rubber samples for contaminants, modification of work practices, and medical screening of exposed workers

Health Hazard Evaluation Determination Report No. 73-98-105: RCA Grimes Lane Warehouse: Bloomington, Indiana

Environmental survey and medical evaluation data reveal potentially toxic exposures to carbon-monoxide by warehouse loading dock workers. Carbon-monoxide (630080) concentrations exceed the NIOSH standard of 35 parts per million, with levels in excess of 50 parts per million in winter months when doors remain closed. Industrial truck operators show a significant rise in blood carboxyhemoglobin, associated with carbon-monoxide exposure. [Description provided by NIOSH

Health Hazard Evaluation Determination Report No. 73-103-128: American Standard Fiberglass: Stockton, California

Air samplings and medical interviews conducted at a fiberglass tubs and showers manufacturing plant indicate that the mixture of styrene (100425) and methylene bisphenyl isocyanate is toxic at the concentrations experienced by the workers employed in this process. The effectiveness of the mechanical exhaust system is nullified by the lack of sufficient make-up air in the plant. The workers complain of respiratory and skin irritation, upset stomach, vomiting, anorexia, numb extremities, and headaches. [Description provided by NIOSH

Technical assistance report no. TA-76-108: Children's Hospital Dental Services, Cincinnati, Ohio and Clermont Children's Dental Services: Batavia, Ohio

Environmental and personal air samples were analyzed for mercury (7439976) vapor at the Clermont County Children's Dental Services (SIC-8021), in Batavia, Ohio, on October 22, 1976, and at the Children's Hospital Dental Services (SIC-8021), in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 28, 1976. The evaluations were requested by management on behalf of approximately 28 employees at the two facilities. Air samples from the Clermont County Dental Clinic contained mercury vapor concentrations ranging from nondetectable to 0.018 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3). Mercury concentrations at the Dental Clinic at Children's Hospital ranged from nondetectable to direct reading mercury sniffer indicated some mercury contamination in the carpets, operatory counter tops, floors, and on the shoe soles of the staff of the Cincinnati Clinic. The author concludes that although air mercury vapor concentrations were below recommended standards, considerable mercury contamination, primarily in the carpets, does exist at the Cincinnati Clinic. He recommends removal of the contaminated carpet, use of precapsulated amalgams, proper housecleaning procedures, proper disposal of waste mercury, and worker education
