RANSDELL - HEALTH & SAFETY HEAD OFFICE BISPHENOL-A HAZARD EVALUATION =. The attached report outlines proposed revisions in the Bisphenol A Material Safety Data Sheet. These proposed changes are based on recent field work at DPMC which indicates that significant U.R.T. irritation can occur at air levels below the current permissible exposure limit. DPMC Medical is currently reviewing the histories on potentially exposed employees however, to date this has not revealed any significant findings. Please let me know if you have any questions. / P.J. Snyder Attachments cc: L. Dixon - B. Drake L. Horstman B. Kern MD H. Lee C. Phillips - Head Office G. Youngblood - Head Office ECB Satellite PJS Chron LAM 025853 ABS-037900 Background Bisphenol A has since 1976 been considered by Shell to be a "nuisance dust" and has been assigned a permissible exposure limit of 10 mg/m3 (total dust) and 5 mg/m3 (respirable dust), (Attachment 1). This determination was based on a review of the literature which did not reveal significant toxicity data or reports from human experience. However, it is noteworthy that this early review concluded that BPA was not biologically inert, and that after an appropriate interval with the temporary standard... an evaluation of human experience may indicate the need for a revised limit. In recent months the Industrial Hygiene group at DPMC has been reviewing Bisphenol A dust exposure in the Resins Manufacturing and Distribution areas. This evaluation was initially prompted based on an observation of subjective discomfort by an individual who was conducting a walk-through audit of the ERU 2/3 Flaker area. The investigation of the initial observation suggested the presence of both low level BPA and possibly phenol vapor exposure in the ERU flaker area. This particular combined exposure is currently under further study. The investigation did however reveal several observations relative to BPA exposure alone. The remainder of this report, which addresses BPA exposure, may constitute a submission under the Toxic Substance Control Acts (TOSCA) reporting requirements. Survey Observations The available air sampling data for ERU 2/3 suggests that the majority of 8 hour TWA exposures are well below 5 mg/m3 (total dust). However, peak dust exposures are associated with several sources and work procedures. Many of these peak exposures result in acute andimmediate upper respiratory irritation. Based on observation and limited monitoring with a portable instantaneous dust monitor, (MDA P-5 and GCA PDM-1) this irritation appears to occur at approximately 1-5 mg/m3. The degree of subjective discomfort experienced appears to be related to individual sensitivity, and frequency of exposure. An effort to identify the percentage of airborne particles less than 10 microns (respirable) was unsatisfactory due to agglomeration. It is postulated however that a high percentage of the particles are "respirable". To assess the validity of this surveyors personal observations, a questionnaire was developed and given to ERU 2/3 Distribution individuals which were identified by operations. Efforts were made to avoid obvious biases or to lead individuals. Interviews were in general conducted "one on one". A summary of the responses from the nine Distribution personnel interviewed are provided as Attachment 2. The most outstanding finding of this solicitation is the frequency of respiratory irritation among employees in spite of the low 8 hour exposure levels. The majority of the employees interviewed were non-smokers. It is noteworthy that the survey findings reflect actual exposure levels respirator use is generally low. ABS-037901 laM 025854 A review of the first aid cases did not reveal a significant number of injuries for 1982, 1983. Examples of the ones which were reported are provided as Attachment 3. Summary The available information suggests that a permissible exposure limit of 10 mg/m3 (total dust) and 5 mg/m3 (respirable) will not prevent iiranediate respiratory irritation. A ceiling level of 1-5 mg/m3 appears to be a more appropriate guideline if significant discomfort is to be prevented in a majority of the employees. These observations have suggested several action items for DPMC Resins Management which will be addressed separately. However, the information available suggests that consideration be given to revising the Material Safety Data Sheet on BPA with the following information: Section III Prolonged skin contact can result in dryness, cracking and dermatitis. Section IV 5.0 mg/m3 ceiling limit recommended to prevent eye, nose, throat irritation. Section XI Do not blow dust off clothing with compressed air, use vacuum systems.

SHELL OIL C.(LviPANY SHELL CHEMIsl^L COMPANY DEER PARK MANUFACTURING COMPLEX TO HEAD OFFICE - MANAGER MANUFACTURING OPERATION & DISTRIBUTION DATE JUNE 9, 1976 FROM SUPERINTENDENT CHEMICAL DEER PARK MANUFACTURING COMPLEX SUBJECT BISPHENOL-A BAG WARNING LABEL An inconsistency in the package warning labels for bagged bisphenol-A was recognized during an industrial hygiene survey. Two products, BPA 154 and BPA 157, sure packaged in Shell bags, but only the BPA 154 bags contain a warning label. Also, the warning label on Shell's bag differs from warnings on competitors'bags which have caused questions in the past from our employees. In an effort to resolve these differences, B. M. Slomka, Manager Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, was requested to review bisphenol-A toxicity to reoorrsnend both safe employee exposure limits and an appropriate warning label. The reply is contained in the attached memoranda dated March 26 and May 19, 1975, and proposes a bag warning based upon the "irritant potential" of BPA. We believe that all Shell BPA bags should be equipped with a warning similar to that proposed in the May 19, 1975 memo. However, conforming with the precise language for a bag label proposed in the May 19 memo would necessitate an unjustified change in our work practices. Therefore, our proposed bag warning label is as follows: IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. IF EYE CONTACT OCCURS, FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH FLOWING WATER AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. MAY IRRITATE SKIN WITH PROLONGED CONTACT. WASH CLEAN WITH SOAP AND WATER. AVOID PROLONGED BREATHING OF DUST. Further, if this label is adopted, the material safety data sheets for the BPA products should be modified accordingly. It is noteworthy that, based upon current data, BPA dust is con sidered a "nuisance dust". Slomka recommends that the ACGIH nuisance dust 5 O standard of 10 mg/m , in conjunction with the OSHA limit of 5 mg/m respirable dust, would be an appropriate temporary standard for BPA. Our review of BPA dust exposures indicates that we do not have any difficulties meeting the above proposed limits. LAM 025856 ABS-037903 HEAD OFFICE - MANAGER MANUFACTURING OPERATION & DISTRIBUTION 2 In view of Shell's leading role in the manufacture of BPA, it may be appropriate to consider more definite studies on toxological prop erties of BPA.

Kirkland on this subject, TAP has reviewed the wording of the warning statements used by the various companies. It is our opinion that the irritant potential of Bisphenol-A is sufficient to require an adequate warning on the label ing of all packages. It is our recommendation that all Shell bags of Bisphenol-A bear the following statement: ''Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of dust. Irritating to skin and eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. "In case of contact, flush skin or eyes with water for at least 15 minutes; for eyes, get medical attention." cc: San Ramon Complex - IS (2) M. B.

RANSDELL) DATE MARCH 26, 1975 FROM MANAGER - TOXICOLOGY & APPLIED PHARMACOLOGY SAN RAMON SUBJECT BISPHENOL A TOXICOLOGY VJith reference to your memorandum of October 30, 197^, on this subject, and your subsequent discussions with Dr. V. L. Kirkland, TAP has reviewed the published literature on the toxicology of Bisphenol-A and offers the following comments relevant to the appropriate air standard cate gorization of the material: 1. Bisphenol-A cannot be considered biologically inert. The acute toxicity of the material has been defined, and a subacute feeding study has also been reported (Fedyanina, Sanitary-Toxicological Investigations of Diphenylpropanej Standardization of its Content in Yrater.; Gig. Sanit. 33: 25-30, 1968; CA 69: 6950, 1968). In the latter Russian study, it was found that a daily intake of Bisphenol-A by rats of 0.025 mg/kg for 6 months was without effect. A daily dose of 0.25 mg/kg resulted in some measurable effect, and "larger concentrations produced numerous pathological effects". The nature of the pathology was not further defined in the available abstract. 2. There are very little data bearing directly on the issue at hand, viz, the air standard. The study of Shumskaya (Pos sible Chronic Intoxication by Diphenylpropane Dust, Tokisol. Novykh Proa. Khim. Vesch. ^4: ^3-52, 1962; CA 58: 10652, 1963) included inhalational exposure of rats to Bisphenol-A con centrations between 15 and 86 rag/M^, and on the basis of the study a maximum allowable air concentration of 5 mg/M** in the work place was recommended. Unfortunately, the abstract is not sufficiently detailed to determine if the data ade quately support the recommendation. (It has been our experi ence that even the full English translation of a Russian technical article is not very revealing.) 3. In vitro bioassay in experimental animals has established that Bisphenol-A possesses weak estrogenic activity. Although no practical problems are anticipated as a result of this de monstration, it must be noted that the physiological effects of estrogens are many, varied, and often subtle. Additional experimental investigations into this aspect of Bisphenol-A activity may therefore be required. 1. There is no evidence from the published literature that Bisphenol-A elicits any chronic irreversible effects following prolonged lov.'-level exposure by any route, although adequate investigation of this possibility has not been reported. ABS-037906 lam 025859 Houston - Occup. Safety & Health Industrial Hygienist_________________ Page 2 5. The current OSHA nuisance dust standard of 15 mg/jr (TWA) is apparently not sufficiently stringent, since you indicate upper respiratory irritation occurs in a percentage of vorkers at this level. In view of the above information, it is recommended that the ACGIH nuisance dust standard of 10 mg/M^, in conjunction with the OSHA limit of 5 mg/H^ respirable dust, would be an appropriate temporary standard for Bisphenol-A. Evaluation of human experience after an appropriate interval with the temporary standard should indicate if its further downward revi sion is necessary. With respect to your question regarding the potential for Bisphenol-A to cause dermatitis, several investigators have shown that the material can produce an allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals. As might be expected from Item 3 above, in certain persons there seems to be a cross sensitization between Bisphenol-A and certain non-steroidal estrogenic sub stances of the stilbesterol type. Further, it has been suggested that the incidence of sensitivity to Bisphenol-A would be higher among people with multiple susceptibilities to the more common allergens such as pollens, animal dander, and dusts. In view of the foregoing, it is suggested that good hygienic and housekeeping practices be followed to minimize the opportunity for dermal contact with the material. We will he happy to discuss the above with you at your convenience. cc: San Ramon It tl \a4 'll. B. Slomka Reg.

Average Range 1-13 Yrs. The inhalation of dust can result in many perceived sensory sensations depending on the type of dust, the individual, the exposure level, duration of exposure and exposure conditions. For example, most individuals would agree that fiberglass dust is irritating to breathe and to the skin. On the other hand only about 10% of the population are allergic to house dust and will experience sneezing and respiratory congestion. Of course, other dusts may not result in any sensory effect at all. The purpose of this questionnaire is to collect some additional information on one particular type of dust at DPMC, BPA. This information will be used to: 1) Help direct exposure monitoring activities so as to include 'worse case' situations, and 2) Help understand the real world experiences that workers have had with BPA. This information will be reviewed by the Medical and Industrial Hygiene Departments and may be used to help update Shell Health and Safety Training programs, such as the Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS). QUESTIONS SECTION I 1. For each work situation listed below please identify which sensory perception level you would typically expect to occur. (Assume no respiratory protection is used). Also, where a sensory perception is indicated, list what that effect would probably be. Your responses should be based on personal experience only.
