ATTACHED IS A BENZENE PERSONNEL MONITORING SURVEY OF BARGE LOADING EXPOSURES SHOWING RESULTS OF BOTH PERSONNEL PPM AND URINARY PHENOLS FOR COMPARISON.
THE DIFFERENCE (DELTA PHENOL) BETWEEN PHENOL A.M. AND P.M. LEVELS DETERMINES EXPOSURE, AS THERE IS NORMALLY SOME PHENOL IN THE BODY FROM FOODS AND THEIR METABOLIC PRODUCTS.
75 MG PHENOL CORRESPONDS TO AN AIR LEVEL OF 10 PPM BENZENE, THE OSHA STANDARD.
