II. INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION
A. INTRODUCTION Ethylene dichloride (EDC) was selected for consideration because the large amounts produced and its moderate volatility (see Appendix A for pertinent physical properties) result in high emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC).1 Ethylene dichloride constitutes a major portion of emissions from both direct chlorination and oxychlorination of ethylene,1 the two commercial processes for its manufacture. Recently it was recommended that ethylene dichloride be treated as a carcinogen because it has been found to cause statistically significant increases of cancer in laboratory animals.2
B. USAGE AND GROWTH The end uses and expected growth rates for ethylene dichloride are given in Table II-l. The predominant use is as an intermediate in the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM); approximately 93% of the VCM produced in 1974 was made from ethylene dichloride. A large portion of the remaining ethylene dichloride is used in production of chlorinated solvents.^
The domestic ethylene dichloride capacity for 1977 is reported to be about 6,726,000 Mg/yr. 4 Production was reported to be about 4,679,000 Mg in 1977, 5 or about 70% of capacity. Based on a projected growth rate of 4 to 5%,^ production will utilize 35 to 39% of the 1977 capacity by 1982. There are indications that the growth may exceed the projected rate. Several companies are either completing construction and startup of new VCM plants or are planning new VCM capacity,** which usually must include additional ethylene dichloride capacity. Ethylene dichloride for sale must come from direct chlorination of ethylene unless a supply of hydrogen chloride (HC1) is available as feed for the oxychlorination process. Conversely, unless the HC1 produced as a by-product during the cracking of ethylene dichloride to VCM has another use, it is used as feed for the oxychlori nation process.^
C. DOMESTIC PRODUCERS There were 12 producers operating 18 ethylene dichloride plants in the United 3 4 7_a States in 1977. Table II-2 lists the producers, locations, and capacities,- ' ' Fig. II-l shows plant locations.

III. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
A. INTRODUCTION Host of the ethylene dichloride (EDC) produced domestically is used in the produc tion of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). Three principal steps are involved in pro ducing VCM: (1) the direct chlorination of ethylene to yield EDC, (2) which is then cracked to yield VCM plus hydrogen chloride (HCl), and (3) the use of HC1 with oxygen, which may be in the form of air, to oxychlorinate ethylene to pro duce additional EDC plus water. These steps constitute the "balance" process, so-called because all the HCl is recycled.
This report is concerned with only the direct-chlorination process and the two variations of the oxychlorination process for producing ethylene dichloride. Also, in the model plants discussed the ratio of EDC produced by these processes is fixed because no net HCl is produced. In other plants, however, such as one in which HCl is available as a by-product from other processes, the ratio will be different. One ethylene dichloride producer uses only the direct-chlorination process. Previously, ethylene dichloride was produced as a by-product of ethyl ene oxide manufacture by the chlorohydrin process; however, the last domestic pro ducer using that process converted to propylene oxide manufacture in 1970.*
B. DIRECT-CHLORINATION AND OXYCHLORINATION (AIR) PROCESSES Ethylene dichloride is produced by direct chlorination of ethylene by the catalytic reaction
ch2=ch2 (ethylene)
+ ci2 (chlorine)
------ ^
cich2ch2ci
(ethylene dichloride)
Almost all commercial plants now use a ferric chloride catalyst in a liquid-phase process.
Ethylene dichloride is also produced by oxychlorination of ethylene with hydrogen chloride and air or oxygen by the following catalytic reaction:
2CH2=CH2 (ethylene)
+ 2 + 4HC1 . --->
(oxygen) (hydrogen chloride)
2C1CH2CH2C1
(ethylene dichloride)
+ 2H2 (water)
SL 101074 F
III-2
The catalyst is a mixture of copper chloride and other chlorides and the react is carried out in the vapor phase in either a fixed- or fluid-bed reactor.
The typical ethylene dichloride process shown in Fig. III-l begins with ethylene (Stream 1) being fed by pipeline to both the oxychlorination reactor and the directchlorination reactor. In the oxychlorination reactor the ethylene is mixed with approximately stoichiometric proportions of anhydrous hydrogen chloride (Stream 2) and air (Stream 3) at pressures of 140--520 kPa and temperatures of 20Q--315C. The conversion of ethylene to ethylene dichloride is virtually completed in the reactor. The reaction is exothermic, generating more than 230 kJ of heat per mole of ethylene dichloride produced, and requires efficient heat removal for adequate temperature control. 2
The products of reaction from the oxychlorination reaction are quenched and cooled (Stream 4) and then go to a knockout drum. The condensed crude ethylene dichloride and water (Stream 5) separated by the knockout drum enter a decanter, where the crude ethylene dichloride is separated from the aqueous phase. The crude ethylene dichloride (Stream 6) goes to in-process storage, and the aqueous phase (Stream 7} is recycled to the quench step. Noncondensed material (Stream 8) from the knockout drum is fed to an absorber, where ethylene dichloride is recovered from the nitrogen and other inert gases, which are released to the atmosphere (Vent A). Absorbe^^ ethylene dichloride and the absorbent (Stream 9) enter a stripper that removes ethylene dichloride overhead (Stream 10), which then goes to crude ethylene dichloride storage. The stripped absorbent (Stream 11) from the stripper is recycled to the absorber.
In the direct-chlorination step of the balanced process ethylene (Stream 1) and a stoichiometric amount of chlorine (Stream 12) are reacted at a temperature of 38--49C and at pressures of 69--138 kPa. This process produces 218 kJ/mole (of
2 EDC) of heat that must be removed for proper temperature control.
Products (Stream 13) of reaction from the direct-chlorination reactor are cooled, and the crude ethylene dichloride (Stream 14) is washed with water to remove dis solved hydrogen chloride before being transferred (Stream 15) to the in-process storage. Any iner is fed with the ethylene or chlorine is released to the atmos phere from the cot. (Vent B). The waste wash water (Stream 16) is sent t.. the wastewater stripper along with the wastewater (Stream 17) from the oxychlorination

quench area and the wastewater (Stream 13) from the drying column. The overhe (Stream 19) from the wastewater stripper, which consist of recovered ethylene dichloride, other chlorinated hydrocarbons, and water, are returned to the process by adding them to the crude ethylene dichloride (Stream 14) going to the water wash.
Crude ethylene dichloride (Stream 20) from in-process storage goes to the drying column, where water (Stream IS) is distilled overhead and sent to the wastewater stripper. The dry crude ethylene dichloride (Stream 21) goes to the heads column, which removes light ends (Stream 22) for storage and disposal or sale. Bottoms (Stream 23) from the heads column enter the ethylene dichloride finishing column, where ethylene dichloride (Stream 24) ,;s overhead to product storage. The tars from the ethylene dichloride finishing column (Stream 25) are taken to tar storage for disposal or sales.
The largest amount of emission is the oxychlorinatiorf gas from vent A, because all the nitrogen from the air (Stream 3) fed to the reactor exits the process there. This vent also contains all the ethane from the ethylene feed to the oxychlorination reactor, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide formed by side reactions, some ethylene dichloride and other chlorinated hydrocarbons not recovered by the absorber, and a small amount of the absorbent. Other process emissions are the vent gases f the direct-chlorination cooler (Vent B) and from the various distillation colum: (Vents C).
Storage emission sources (Vents D through G) include in-process storage, product storage, liquid waste storage, and tar storage. Because ethylene dichloride is fed by pipeline to the cracking section of a VCH plant and the light ends and tars are piped to the incinerator, there are no handling emissions from this process as shown. They will occur, however, when ethylene dichloride or the light ends or the tars are loaded into tank trucks, tank cars, or barges for shipping to other sites.
Fugitive emissions (H) occur when leaks develop in valves or in pump or compressor seals. When the process pressures are higher chan the cooling-water pressure, ethylene dichloride and other VOC can leak into the cooling water and escape as a fugitive emissions from the cooling tower.
SL 101077
Ill -- 5
Secondary emissions can occur when wastewater containing VOC is sent to a wastewater treatment system or lagoon and the VOC are desorbed (X). Another source of secondary emissions is from the incineration of liquid-waste streams, where VOC are emitted with the flue gases (Vent J).
C. DIRECT-CHLORINATION AND OXYCHLORINATION (OXYGEN) PROCESSES Only two domestic EDC producers use oxygen as the oxidant in the oxychlorination reactor. The process details are considered to be confidential by both producers. Although conceptual descriptions of such processes are given in the literature, it is not known how the processes actually used compare with those described. One producer has released data showing that the plant is not truly balanced; i.e., the ratio of ethylene dichloride from oxychlorination and direct chlorination dif fers from that of a balanced plant. However, both producers have direct chlorina tion, ethylene dichloride purification and cracking, and VCM purification steps at the same site, which probably constitute an integrated process.
Figure III-2 shows a typical oxygen-based oxychlorination process as given in the literature. For a balanced process plant the direct chlorination and purification steps are the same as those shown in Fig. III-l and therefore are not shown again in Fig. III-2. Ethylene (Stream 1) is fed in large excess of stoichiometric requirements, e.g,, 2 to 3 times the amount needed to fully consume the hydrogen chloride (HC1) feed (Stream 2). Oyxgen (Stream 3) is also fed to the reactor, which may be either a fixed bed or a fluid bed. After passing through the oxy chlorination reactor and quench area, the reaction products (Stream 4) go to a knockout drum, where the condensed crude ethylene dichloride and water (Stream 5) produced by the oxychlorination reaction are separated from the unreacted ethylene and the inert gases (Stream 6), e.g., carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, argon, and nonreactive hydrocarbons, which enter the reactor as impurities with the feed streams or are formed during the oxychlorination reaction itself. From the knockout drums the crude ethylene dichloride and water (Stream S) go to a decanter, where wastewater (Stream 7) is separated from the crude ethylene dichloride (Stream 8), which goes to in-process storage as in the air-based process. The wastewater (Stream 7) is sent to the steam stripper in the direct-chlorination step for recovery of dissolved organics. 3 ' 4

The vent gases (Stream 6) from the knockout drum go to a caustic scrubber for removal of hydrogen chloride and carbon dioxide. The purified vent gases (Stream S) are then compressed and recycled (Stream 10) to the oxychlorination reactor as part of the ethylene feed.3,4
A small amount of the vent gas (Vent A) from the knockout drum is purged to prevent buildup of the inert gases entering with the feed streams or formed during the
, 34 reaction. '
D. PROCESS VARIATIONS Although all ethylene dichloride is produced either by direct chlorination of ethylene or by oxychlorination of ethylene, there are many variations in the reactors, recovery methods, and purification trains. However, while the general differences are well known and documented, ' ' the details are considered to be trade secrets and confidential by the various manufacturers of ethylene dichloride.
The oxychlorination reactor may be either a tubular fixed-bed type with the. cat alyst inside the tubes and the coolant in the shell or a fluid-bed type with internal cooling coils. The reactor effluent may be cooled by indirect heat exchange to condense the ethylene dichloride. In one process chlorine is added to the vent gases, which are then passed through one or more catalytic reactors for removal of unreacted ethylene by conversion to ethylene dichloride. When absorption/stripping is used for recovery of ethylene dichloride from the vent gases, the absorbent may be either water or an aromatic solvent. Refrigerated vent condensers may be used to cool the oxychlorination vent gases to as low as
2__ 5 7 a
-23C for recovery of chlorinated hydrocarbons. ' '
The direct chlorination of ethylene with chlorine may be carried out either in the vapor phase or in the liquid phase. The reaction usually takes place in the liquid phase with a considerable excess of reaction product. The catalyst may be a metallic chloride such as ferric, aluminum, copper, or antimony chloride; ferric chloride in a liquid-phase reactor is used by almost all commercial plants. The vapors may be condensed by water-cooled and/or refrigerated condensers or they may be absorbed in water or dilute caustic. 1'2' 8
101080 SL
III-8 The crude ethylene dichloride from the oxychlorination step may be combined vi that from the direct chlorination and washed with water or caustic or both. The crude ethylene dichloride may be used wthout purification in many applications; in other applications it may be purified and may include recycled EDC from the VCh purification step. 5 ' 7 ' 3 Production of other chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as 1,1,1-triehloroethane and 1,1,2-trichloroethane, may be integrated with ethylene dichloride---vinyl chlon.ce
g plants. Vent gas streams from the direct-chlorination step or other processing units may be recycled to the oxychlorination reactor as part of the feed to utilize the raw materials contained in the streams. ' These recycle streams or the ethylene, hydrogen chloride, and chlorine feeds may contain impurities, such as methane, 7 that will exit the process in the vent gases. The light chlorinated hydrocarbons recovered in the purification step may be used as feed to perchloroethylene and carbon tetrachloride plants or may be further purified for recovery of specific chlorinated hydrocarbons. The heavy chlorinated hydrocarbons may also be processed for recovery of some of the chlorinated hydrocarbons. 5 ' 7

IV. EMISSIONS
A. DIRECT-CHLORINATION AND OHyCHLORINATION (AIR) PROCESSES
1. Model Plant The model plant for the balanced process (Fig. III-I) has an ethylene dichloride (ECD) capacity of 400,000 Mg/yr, based on 8760 hr of operation annually,215,000 Mg/yr is produced by direct chlorination and 185,000 Mg/yr by oxychlorination with air. A small quantity (8000 Mg/yr) of liquid-waste chlorinated hydro carbons is produced and then burned in a liquid-waste incinerator. These liquid wastes could be used or sold. If there is no demand, they would be burned. The model plant is typical of several existing ethylene dichloride plants.1
Typical in-process, product, and waste by-product storage-tank capacities are estimated for the 400,000-Hg/yr plant. The storage-tank parameters are given in Sect. IV.A.2.d, and estimates of potential fugitive emission sources are given in Sect. IV.A.2.e. Characteristics of the model plant that are important in air-dispersion modeling are given in Table B-l in Appendix B.
2. Sources and Emissions Emission rates and sources for the balanced process based on air are summarized in Table IV-1.
a. Qxychlorination Vent -- The oxychlorination vent gas (Vent A, Fig. III-l) contains nitrogen and unreacted oxygen from the air fed to the reactor; ethane and unreacted ethylene from the ethylene feed; and the ethylene dichloride product, other chlori nated hydrocarbons, and carbon oxides produced in the reactor and not removed from the vent gases in the absorber. Table IV-2 gives the composition of this stream based on an average of data from several sources1 but is not representative of actual data from any specific plant or process. The data points show such wide scatter that no composition can be found that is typical for either fluid-bed or fixed-bed reactors. It appears that operating conditions may influence the vent gas composition more than reactor configuration. Although there are more inert gases (nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon oxides) in the fluid-bed vent gas and more total vent gas per kg of ethylene dichloride produced than for the fixed-bed case, for both reactors the values of the ratios of total VOC and EDC emitted

per kg of EDC produced have the same ranges and averages. The ethane content of the vent gas from the model plant is calculated based on ethylene containing 0.1% ethane and on ethane being neither consumed nor produced in the oxychlorination reactor. Only inert gases are contained in the hydrogen chloride feed used in the model plant; therefore methane does not appea. m the oxychlorination vent gas.
b. Direct-Chlorination Vent -- The vent gases from the direct-chlorination step (Vent B, Fig. III-l) are primarily the inert gases from the ethylene and hydro gen chloride feeds, unreacted ethylene, and ethylene dichloride not condensed in the cooler. The ethylene dichloride in the vent gases is estimated to be 2 g/kg of the ethylene dichloride produced from the direct-chlorination step. The ethylene feed to the model plant contains 0.1% ethane, which exits with the vent gases along with the unreacted ethylene, estimated to be 3 g/kg of the ethylene dichloride produced by direct chlorination. The chlorine to the modelplant reactor consists 0.5% inert gases, or 3.65 g/kg of direct-chlorination product, which is a significant portion of the vent emissions.
c. Column Vents -- The vent gases from the EDC stripper, the wastewater stripper, the drying column, the heads column, and the EDC finishing column (Vents C, Fig. III-l) are the noncondensables that are dissolved in the feed to the columns, the VOC that are not condensed, and, for the columns operated under vacuum, the air that leaks into the column and is removed by the vacuum jet systems. An estimate was made of the quantity of these emissions, since the available data are scarce and vary widely. 1 ' 2
d. Storage and Handling Emissions -- Emissions result from the storage of ethylene dichloride, in-process, and liquid-waste streams. Sources for the model plant are shown in Fig. III-l (Sources D through G). Storage tank parameters for the model plant are given in Table IV-3. The calculated emissions in Table IV-1 are based on fixed-roof tanks, half full, an 11C diurnal temperature variation, and the use of the emission equations from AP-42.^
No handling emissions occur in the model plant, as all raw materials, product, and waste by-products are transported by pipeline. This may not be the case in existing plants, where loading and unloading operations could result in additional emissions.

Fugitive Emissions -- Process pumps, process valves, and pressure relief devic^B are potential sources of fugitive emissions (Source H). The model plant is es^F mated to have 42 pumps handling VOC, 21 of which handle ethylene dichloride. There are an estimated 1100 valves and 40 pressure relief devices in VOC service, with 550 valves and 20 pressure relief devices in ethylene dichloride service. The fugitive-emission factors from Appendix C were applied to these estimates, and the totals are shown in Table IV-1 as fugitive emissions.
f. Secondary Emissions -- Secondary emissions can result from the handling and dis posal of process waste-liquid streams. Two potential sources (I and J) are indi cated in Fig. III-l for the model plant.
The secondary emissions from wastewater treatment (Source I) were estimated by procedures that will be discussed in a future EPA report on secondary emissions. An estimate of wastewater composition and flow rate was made, based on data received from ethylene dichloride producers.1 A Henry*s-law constant was then calculated for the vapor-liquid system under consideration, and the emission rate was estimated by comparison with information given in existing literature, such as an article by Thibodeaux.^ This emission rate is shown in Table IV-1.
The secondary emissions of total VOC in the flue gases from the liquid chlorin^Bid hydrocarbon incinerator (Source J) were estimated as 1% of feed. Information on these emissions is not presently available, and so the estimate was based on 99% destruction of the liquid feed. Higher than normal temperatures and residence times are required to destroy 99% or more of a liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon feed that contains no salts or solids except for a small amount of finely divided carbon. Before the flue gases are vented to the atmosphere, they are normally sent first to absorbers for recovery of HC1 and then to a dilute caustic scrubber to remove unrecovered HCl and any chlorine formed in the incineration. The dilute recovered HCl may be concentrated to anhydrous HCl, which can be used as feed to the oxychlorination reactor.^

B. DIRECT-CHLORINATION AND OXYCHLORINATION (OXYGEN) PROCESSES
1. Model Plant In the model-plant oxychlorination (oxygen) process (Fig. III-2) for producing ethylene dichloride, oxygen is fed to the reactor instead of air. All the capac ities for both model plants are identical, i.e., 400,000 Mg/yr of ethylene dichloride from the plant, with 185,000 Mg/yr being produced by the oxychlori nation step, etc. Figure III-2 shows only the oxychlorination step. Storage tank requirements and estimates of potential fugitive emission sources and secondary emission sources are also the same as for the air process. Character istics of the model plant that are important in air dispersion modeling are given in Table B-2 in Appendix B.
v
2. Sources and Emissions Emission rates and sources for the balanced ethylene dichloride process based on oxygen are summarized in Table IV-1.
a. Oxychlorination Vent -- The oxychlorination vent gas (Vent A, Fig. Ill--2) acts as a purge stream to prevent buildup of impurities in the recycle stream (Stream 6, Fig. III-2). These impurities are the carbon oxides, nitrogen, argon, or nonreactive hydrocarbons that enter the reactor with the feed streams or that are formed during the oxychorination reaction itself. Table IV-4 gives the composition of this stream based on an average of data from oxygen based processes3, but is not representative of actual data from any specific process. The ethane content of the vent gas from the oxygen-based model plant is calculated based on ethylene containing 0.1% ethane and on no ethane being consumed or produced in the oxy chlorination reactor. Since the ethylene and hydrogen chloride feed to the model plant contains no methane, no methane is present in these vent gases.
b. Other Emissions -- All other emissions from the the oxygen process are identical to those from the process based on air and are discussed in Sect. IV.A.2.
C. CURRENT EMISSIONS An estimate of the 1978 emissions from the industry is 11,000 Mg/yr of ethylene dichloride and 35,000 Mg/yr of total V0C, based on an estimated 1978 level of ethylene dichloride production of 4,900,000 Mg/yr obtained by applying a 5% growth

V. APPLICABLE CONTROL SYSTEMS
A. DIRECT-CHLORINATION AND OXYCHLORINATION (AIR) PROCESSES
I. Oxychlorination Vent The gases from the oxychlorination vent can be thermally oxidized to effectively control the ethylene dichloride (EDC) and VOC in them. Because of the large percentage of nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the vent gases, they must be sup plemented by additional fuel for the necessary temperature to be reached. The flue gases from the thermal oxidation of chlorine containing compounds will con tain hydrogen chloride (HC1) and a small amount of chlorine, depending on operating temperature,* that must be removed before the flue gases are discharged to the atmosphere. The model-plant thermal oxidizer operates at 1100C and a residence time of 1 sec and has a quench chamber with water sprays to remove the HC1 and a tail-gas scrubber to remove any remaining HCl and any chlorine before the flue gases are discharged from the stack. The acid water from the quench chamber and tail-gas scrubber is neutralized with 20% caustic soda and then recycled. A purge stream to waste treatment is required to prevent a buildup of dissolved solids.
With a properly designed and operated thermal oxidizer having a residence time of 1 sec at 1100C, a reduction of 99% or greater can be achieved in ethylene dichloride and total VOC emissions. This reduction was used for calculation of the controlled emissions from the thermal oxidizer that originated in the oxy chlorination vent (see Table V-l). Data and documentation to support these operating conditions will be presented in a future EPA report on emission con trol systems.
Heat recovery from the thermal oxidizer flue gases can be used to produce steam to provide a credit. Experience with thermal oxidation and heat recovery of vent gases containing chlorinated hydrocarbons is limited but has revealed several problems. The flue gases are corrosive at some temperature conditions. The thermal oxidizer and heat recovery equipment must be operated carefully to prevent the occurrence of the corrosive conditions, especially on startup and shutdown of the unit.1 One indication of the severity of these problems is the instal lation by Diamond Shamrock of two parallel, full-capacity, thermal oxidizer systems

with heat recovery in their new VCH plant to ensure an on-stream factor of greater than 98%. No thermal oxidizers have been retrofitted to air process oxychlorination vents; 3 however, Borden's recently constructed plant at Geismar has a thermal oxidizer with heat recovery that is fed the vent gases from their oxychlorination (air) step and several other vent gas streams. When visited, their unit had been out of service for modifications to correct design problems and so no actual operating data are yet available.^
Two alternatives for the thermal oxidizer for the direct-chlorination and oxychlorination (air) model plant were studied; one with heat recovery to produce steam and one without heat recovery. Both cases have the same emission reduction efficiency, but differ in the size of the quench chamber, caustic scrubber, fan, and pumps because of the different temperatures of the flue gas to the quench chamber that result in different flue gas volumes to be quenched and scrubbed and in different amounts of water that are evaporated.
Several other alternative thermal oxidizer configurations are possible, both with and without heat recovery. An acid scrubber may be used instead of a water quench to recover dilute hydrochloric acid, which may be used in other processes for its acidity or may be neutralized with a cheaper base than caustic soda. Other systems may be used to recover hydrochloric acid at higher concentrations, as well as anhydrous hydrogen chloride.1'^'6 The thermal oxidizer may be designed
4
to burn both vent gases and liquid chlorinated by-products.
Diamond Shamrock has retrofitted a commercial-sized catalytic oxidizer to their older oxychlorination facility. The unit reportedly does remove carbon monoxide and ethylene with better than 99.7% reduction; however, it removes less than 75% of the ethylene dichloride and less than 60% of the VCH, with 100 ppm of
7
ethylene dichloride and 8 ppm of VCH remaining in the stack gases. For this reason a catalytic oxidizer at its present state of development is not judged to be an adequate control device for the oxychlorination (air) process.
Another device that reduces the ethylene in the oxychlorination vent gases is a "post" reactor, where chlorine is added to chlorinate the residual ethylene to ethylene dichloride. Conoco, Shell, and Stuaffer have installed this type of control.^ Reportedly complete ethylene conversion is obtained, with the residual
101095
Sh

g
concentration in the vent gas being as low as 10 ppm of ethylene. Data from plant using this technology show only 0.02 wt % of ethylene but 0.75 wt % of ethylene dichloride and 2 wt % of total VOC in the vent gas after it has been refrigerated to subzero temperature and then scrubbed with water.3
Other devices, such as refrigerated vent condensers and hydrocarbon or chilled water absorbers, do remove some ethylene dichloride and total VOC from the vent gas; however, they leave significant quantities to go to the atmosphere.^'3 These types of controls are used by Allied, Conoco, Goodrich, Ethyl, Shell, and
3
Vulcan. Conoco and Shell also have a post reactor, as previously mentioned.
2. Direct-Chlorination Vent The emissions from the direct-chlorination vent can be controlled by piping them to the thermal oxidizer used for controlling the oxychlorination vent gas as discussed in Sect. A-l or to a vapor and liquid thermal oxidizer serving other processing units.3 A reduction of 99% was used in the calculations of the con trolled emissions from the thermal oxidizer that originate in the direct-chlori nation vent (see Table V-l). Borden, Dow, PPG, and Shell burn the vent gases from their direct-chlorination reactors in thermal oxidizers. Union Carbide 2 sends them to a flare after scrubbing.
Other devices that may be used to control the emissions from the direct-chlori nation vent are refrigerated vent condensers, scrubbers, and flares, or a combi nation of these, depending on the composition of the vent gases. If properly designed, a refrigerated vent condenser is effective for removal of ethylene dichloride (approximately 96% if the vent gases are cooled from 35C to -26C at 240 kPa), although the unreacted ethylene and ethane will remain. Scrubbers may absorb some ethylene dichloride depending on the operating conditions, but are primarily installed for removal of hydrogen chloride and unreacted chlorine.
Conoco plans to install a vent gas incinerator to burn all the vent gases from their ethylene dichloride facility except for those from the oxychlorination vent. At present all gases are sent to a water scrubber and then vented to the atmosphere. The direct-chlorination vent gas also passes through a refrigerated vent condenser. At Diamond Shamrock's older plant the direct-chlorination vent gas is sent through a refrigerated vent condenser and then a water scrubber.
SL 101096
V-5
but at their newer facility the vent gas is burned in a thermal oxidizer. Goodrich uses a refrigerated vent condenser to minimize their direct-chlorination vent emissions. Allied Chemical has piped the gas from the direct-chlorination vent into the oxychlorination reactor. The removal efficiency for ethylene dichloride or total voc was not reported."*
3. Column Vents The emissions from the column vents can also be effectively controlled by piping them to the thermal oxidizer used for controlling the emissions from the oxy chlorination and direct-chlorination vents or to a vapor and liquid thermal oxidi2er serving other processing units.1'3 A reduction of 99% was used in the calculations of the controlled emissions from the thermal oxidizer that originated in the column vents (see Table V-l).
The same devices discussed above for the direct-chlorination vent are used to control the gases from the column vents and the same conditions apply to their use and effectiveness. Borden, Conoco (future plans). Diamond Shamrock's new facility, Dow, PPG, and Shell send their column vent gases to their thermal oxidizer. Allied, Goodrich, and Vulcan have vent condensers on their column vents, and Allied plans to recycle their column vent gases to various parts of the process. The inert gases are dissolved in the column feeds and leak into the vacuum columns, with the quantity varying widely.3 The amount of these inert gases can have a considerable impact on the reduction efficiency of a refrigerated vent condenser, as discussed above.
4. Storage Vents The emissions from the model-plant storage tanks are controlled by use of internalfloating-roof tanks.* Because the stored materials are chlorinated and may contain dissolved hydrogen chloride, the construction materials for the floating roof and seals must be carefully selected. Options for control of storage emissions g are covered in a recent EPA report. Guidelines for storage-emission control techniques will be given in a future EPA document.
*Consist of internal floating covers or covered floating roofs as defined in API 25-19, 2d ed., 1976 (fixed-roof tanks with internal floating device to reduce vapor loss.
SL 101097
V-6
According to information received from companies producing ethylene dichloride, the crude ethylene dichloride, the product ethylene dichloride, the lights, and the heavies are stored in fixed-roof tanks- Often the crude ethylene dichloride is stored under a water layer, which will reduce the emissions somewhat. A nitrogen blanket is sometimes employed to keep the product ethylene dichloride dry. Emission can also be controlled by using refrigerated vent condensers and by piping the storage tank vents to a thermal oxidizer.'*
The controlled storage emissions given in Table V-l were calculated with equa tions from AP-4210 modified to reduce the calculated floating-roof-tank with-
g drawal loss as indicated in the recent EPA report on storage and handling.
Refrigerated vent condensers are used by Diamond Shamrock and Dow to control * tank emissions, while the gases from the tank vent condensers in Diamond Shamrock's new plant and from some of Shell's ethylene dichloride storage tanks go to their thermal oxidizers. Allied, Diamond Shamrock, Conoco, and Goodrich maintain a water layer on their crude ethylene dichloride. Conoco, PPG, and Shell use scrubbers on some of their storage tank vents.^
Fugitive Emissions Controls for fugitive emissions from the synthetic organic chemicals manufactu ing industry will be discussed in a future EPA document. Emissions from pumps, process valves, and pressure relief devices can be controlled by an appropriate leak-detection system and with repair and maintenance as needed. Controlled fugitive emissions were calculated with the appropriate factors given in Appendix C and are included in Table V-l.
Secondary Emissions
Wastewater Treatment -- Calculations based on estimated wastewater flow rates and compositions for the model plant indicate that the emissions from the wastewater treatment are relatively small. No control system has been identified for the model plant.
Liquid Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Incinerator -- Control of the secondary emissions from the liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon incinerator consists of changing the incinerator operating conditions. Data on the relationship of emissions to
SL 101098
V-7
operating conditions are not available at this time. Some information indicates that higher temperatures and longer residence times are probably helpful in reducing these secondary emissions,^'1'*'"''1'^ Levels of organic chlorides in the flue gases from the liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon incinerators have been reported to be none and 30 ppm by weight.1**'15 The controlled secondary emissions from the model-plant liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon incinerator are estimated to be nondetectable, as indicated in Table V-l.
B. DIRECT-CHLORINATION AND OXYCHLORINATION (OXYGEN) PROCESSES
1. Oxychlorination Vent The vent gases from the oxychlorination vent when oxygen is used as the feed contain much less nitrogen than when air is used and can support combustion with little or no supplemental fuel required. A thermal oxidizer is used by Dow and PPG to control emissions from their oxygen-based oxychlorination process. An emission reduction of 99% was used to calculate the controlled emissions from the thermal oxidizer that originated in the model-plant oxychlorination vent (see Table V-l). With a properly designed and operated thermal oxidizer having a residence time of 1 sec at 1100C a reduction of 99% or greater can be achieved in ethylene dichloride and total VOC emissions. Data and documentation to support these operating conditions will be presented in a future EPA report on emission control systems.
Heat recovery from the thermal oxidizer flue gases can be used to produce steam. The same problems discussed in Sect. A.l will apply to this case. Both PPG and Dow have indicated plans to incorporate heat recovery in their thermal oxidizers.'5
2. Other Vents The control systems and controlled emissions for the model-plant direct-chlorination vent, column vents, storage vents, fugitive sources, and secondary sources are the same as for the air process model plant (see Table V-l).

VI. IMPACT ANALYSIS
A. ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY IMPACTS
1. Direct-Chlorination and Oxychlorination (Air) Processes Table VI-1 shows the environmental impact of reducing the ethylene dichloride (EDC) and VOC emissions by application of the indicated control systems to the air process model plant. Use of these control devices or techniques results in the reduction of EDC emissions by 3000 Mg/yr and total VOC emissions by 9400 Mg/yr for the model plant.
a* Process Vents -- The thermal oxidizer used for control of emissions from vents A [oxychlorination (air)], B (direct chlorination), and C (column vents) (Fig. III-l) reduces the air process model plant EDC emissions by 2900 Mg/yr and total VOC emissions by 9100 Mg/yr.
The thermal oxidizer uses natural gas as supplemental fuel and electric power for the blowers, pumps, lighting, and instruments. The total energy required to operate the thermal oxidizer for the air process model plant is approximately 26 GJ/hr, If heat recovery equipment is installed and approximately 70% of the available energy from the combustion gases is recovered as steam, the amount of steam produced will be about 37 GJ/hr. Since a balanced VCM plant consumes a substantial quantity of steam above that produced in the oxychlorination reactor system, this steam can usually be utilized on-site. 1 ' 2
The combustion of chlorinated compounds in the thermal oxidizer produces hydrogen chloride (HCl) and free chlorine, which leave in the flue gases. In the removal and neutralization of these acid gases by the model plant's quench chamber, tail gas scrubber, and neutralization sump, 7600 Mg of salt in dilute solution is pro duced annually. Plants located near the ocean can dispose of this salt solution without major problems. Others may find it more economical to use alternative systems for removal of HCl and chlorine that produce a dilute hydrochloric acid solution as discussed in Sect. V.
b. Other Emissions (Storage, Fugitive, and Secondary -- Control methods described for these sources for the model plants are internal-floating-roof storage tanks.

leak repair for fugitive emissions, and change of operating conditions for the liquid waste incinerator.
Application of these systems results in an EDC emission reduction of 95 Mg/yr and a VOC emission reduction of 230 Mg/yr for the model plants. Internal-floatingroof tanks for emission control neither consume energy nor have adverse environ mental or energy impacts.
Direct-Chlorination and Oxychlorination (Oxygen) Processes Table VI-1 shows the environmental impact of reducing the EDC and VOC emissions by application of the indicated control systems to the oxygen-process model plant. Application of these control devices or techniques results in the reduction of EDC emissions by 1900 Mg/yr and total VOC emissions by 10,200 Mg/yr for the model plant.
Process Vents -- The thermal oxidizer used for control of emissions from vent A (Fig. III-2) and vents B and C (Fig. III-l) reduces the model-plant EDC emission by 1800 Mg/yr and total VOC emissions by 10,000 Mg/yr.
The thermal oxidizer for the model plant does not require supplemental fuel, because the vent gases from the process vents are self-combustible. The energy required as electric power for the blowers, pumps, lighting, and instruments is approximately 0.25 GJ/hr. If heat recovery equipment is installed and approxi mately 70% of the available energy from the combustion gases is recovered as steam, about 27 GJ of steam will be produced per hour.
The removal and neutralization of the acid gases from the thermal oxidizer flue gases will produce about 5900 Mg/yr of salt from the model plant.
Other Emissions (Storage, Fugitive, and Secondary) -- The control methods and environmental and energy impacts for these sources in the oxygen-process model plant are identical to those of the air-process model plant; see Sect. Vl.&.l.b.
CONTROL COST IMPACT This section gives estimated costs and cost-effectiveness data for control of ethylene dichloride and total VOC emissions resulting from the production of
VI-4
ethylene dichloride. Details of the model plant (Figs. Ill-i and III-2) are given in Sects. Ill and IV. Cost estimate calculations are included in Appendix D.
Capital cost estimates represent the total investment required for purchase and installation of all equipment and material needed for a complete emission control system performing as defined for a new plant at a typical location. These esti mates do not include the cost of ethylene dichloride production lost during installation or startup, research and development, or land acquisition. Costs for retrofitting these systems in existing plants may be greater than for a new installation. The primary difficulty in retrofitting may be in finding space to fit the system into the existing plant layout.
Bases for the annual cost estimates for the control alternatives include utilities, waste disposal, chemicals, operating labor, maintenance supplies and labor, recovery credits, capital charges, and miscellaneous recurring costs such as taxes, insurance and administrative overhead. The cost factors used are itemized in Table VI-2. The capital recovery factor of 0.1623 is based on an assumed 10-year life and a 10% annual interest rate. Recovery credits are based on the market value for the material being recovered. Annual costs are for a 1-year period beginning in mid-1978.
1. Direct-Chlorination and Oxychlorination (Air) Processes
a. Process Vents -- The estimated installed capital cost of a thermal oxidizer designed to reduce by 99% or greater the ethylene dichloride and total VOC from the process vents in the model plant is $1,305 million (see Table VI-3). If waste heat recovery is included to reduce the operating cost, the estimated installed capital cost is $1,234 million. These costs are based on a thermal oxidizer designed for a residence time of 1 sec at 1100C, completely installed, and includes a quench chamber, tail gas scrubber, sump, pumps, blower, and stack. The use of heat recovery reduces the temperature, and therefore the volume, of the flue gases to the quench and scrubber, which consequently will be smaller. Because of the large mass flow of flue gases the reduction in cost of the quench and scrubber more than compensates for the cost of the heat recovery equipment, and the total cost of a thermal oxidizer with heat recovery is less than one without heat recovery.

The process-vent-gas rate varies directly with the production rate; therefore the capacity of the thermal oxidizer will depend on the capacity of the plant. Figure VI-1 was plotted to show the variation of installed capital cost of a thermal oxidizer, with and without heat recovery, versus plant capacity.
To determine the cost effectiveness of a thermal oxidizer, estimates were made of the direct operating cost, the capital recovery cost, and miscellaneous capi tal costs, both with and without heat recovery. The recovery credit was calcu lated for the heat recovery case based on recovery of approximately 70% of the energy in the flue gases valued as equivalent to natural gas at $1.90/GJ and not for the steam that may be generated. The net annual cost for each case was then calculated (see Table VI-3) and plotted in Fig. VI-2 to show the variation with plant capacity for both cases. The cost effectiveness for each case for controlling both ethylene dichloride and total VOC was calculated from the net annual cost and the emission reduction (see Table VI-3).
b. Storage Sources -- The control system for storage sources is use of floatingroof tanks. Another EFA report covers storage and handling emissions and their applicable controls for all the synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing

c. Fugitive Sources -- A control system for fugitive sources is defined in Appendix C. A future document will cover fugitive emissions and their applicable controls for all the synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing industry.

The secondary emissions from the incinerator can be controlled by changing operating conditions. A future EPA document will cover secondary emissions and their applicable controls for all the synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing industry.

VII. PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
A. SUMMARY Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is produced by the direct chlorination of ethylene and by the oxychlorination of ethylene with hydrogen chloride (HCl) and oxygen or air, often in a balanced plant, where the EDC is used to make vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and with hydrogen chloride (HCl) produced as by-product. The HCl is recycled and the ethylene dichloride product is about evenly split between the direct-chlorination step and the oxychlorination step.^- ^
The annual growth rate of ethylene dichloride production is estimated to be 4 to 5%,1 and production is projected to utilize 85 to 89% of 1977 capacity by 1982.^
Emission sources and uncontrolled and controlled emission rates for the directchlorination and the oxychlorination (air and oxygen) processes are given in Table VII-1. The current emissions projected for the domestic ethylene dichloride industry based on the estimated degree of control existing in 1978 are 11,000 Mg of ethylene dichloride per year and 35,000 Mg of total VOC per year. Control devices for operating plants include thermal oxidizers, catalytic oxidizers, vent condensers, scrubbers, and vent-gas post reactors. Emission reduction of 99% or greater may be realized in a thermal oxidizer. The installed capital cost of a thermal oxidizer for the air-based-process model plant is $1,234 million with heat recovery and $1,305 without heat recovery; for the oxygen-based-process model plant it is $1,117 million with heat recovery and $1,083 million without heat recovery. Supplemental fuel is required for the combustion of the gases from the directchlorination, oxychlorination (air), and column vents but not for the oxygenprocess vents because those gases contain much less nitrogen and are selfcombustible.
For the thermal oxidizer on the direct-chlorination and oxychlorination (air) model-plant vents the cost effectiveness for ethylene dichloride is $1163/Mg if heat is recovered and $1385/Mg if it is not. The cost effectiveness for total VOC is $371/Mg with heat recovery and $441/Mg without heat recovery. The cost effectiveness of the thermal oxidizer on the direct-chlorination and oxychlorina tion (oxygen) model-plant vents is $1346/Hg of ethylene dichloride and $242/Mg

Approximately 37 GJ of steam per hour is produced from the air-process thermal oxidizer flue gases at approximately 70% recovery and about 27 GJ/hr from the oxygen-process gases at the same recovery.
B. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Process emissions from the model plants are based on emission data included in
trip reports, responses to EPA letters requesting information from sites not
visited, and the Houdry reports.
Nonconfidential information from emission
inventory questionnaires submitted to the Texas Air Control Board and the Louisiana
Air Control Commission was also used as an emission data source. Literature
sources, such as the SRI Chemical Economics Handbook and the Kirk-Othmer
Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, were utilized to gain a better understanding
of process unit operations and process chemistry. The data on emissions from
individual distillation columns were generally not available and the small amount of data on distillation emissions that was given showed wide variations.4
The operating costs for the thermal oxidizers include the cost of neutralizing the HC1 produced. If HC1 recovery is included as part of the thermal oxidizer system, the costs may be more favorable.

COST ESTIMATE DETAILS
This appendix contains the details of the estimated costs presented in this report.
The accuracy of an estimate is a function of the degree of data available when the estimate was made. Figure D-l illustrates this relationship. A contin gency allowance as indicated on this chart has been included in the estimated costs to cover the undefined scope of the project.
Capital costs given in this report are based on a screening study, as indicated by Fig. D-l, based on general design criteria, block flowsheets, approximate material balances, and data on general equipment requirements. These costs have an accuracy range of +30% to -23%, depending on the reliability of the data, and provide an acceptable basis to determine the most cost-effective alternate within the limits of accuracy indicated.
Figure D-2 shows the installed capital costs for tanks and was prepared primar ily from data presented in the EPA, OAQPS report Evaluation of Hydrocarbon Emissions from Petroleum Liquid Storage, which was prepared by Pacific Environmental Services under Contract 68-02-2606. The curves plotted are judgmental averages of the data presented. Additional retrofit cost informa tion was obtained by telephone from Chicago Bridge and Iron, Ultraflote, and Grover Tank Co. The highest retrofit cost quoted by these companies was used as a base. The retrofit curve was then increased to compensate for freight, taxes, engineering, and estimated allowances.
In all capital calculations, allowances of 13 to 20% were added for magnitude, hazard, and definition contingencies.
Cost-effectiveness data for open-top floating roof tanks were not developed because the available data indicate the cost to be approximately the same as that for internal floating roofs for most tank sizes. Open-top floating roofs are not as efficient for emission reduction as internal floating roofs.

sulfhydryl groups of cysteine in vitro, but that in vivo, total sulfhvdrvl concentration in rat liver and kidney was decreased at the LD90 doses. Brain and heart sulfhydryl values were not affected. Signs of toxicity included clonic and tonic convulsions, respiratory depression, and thirst.
No information on metabolism of ethylene dichloride by humans was found in the literature. The similarity of the human responses to exposure to ethylene dichloride and 2-chloroethanol and the pathologic findings after such exposures are not proof that ethylene dichloride is metabolized to 2-chloroethanol. With both compounds, the delay in onset of symptoms (Table XII-2) is indicative of metabolism to more toxic compounds. f128-- 130] Ethylene dichloride and 2-chloroethanol could share a common metabolic pathway to monochloroacetic acid with chloroacetaldehyde as an intermediate metabolite. (RA Van Dyke, written communication, February 1975)
McCann et al [135] tested the mutagenicity of ethylene dichloride, its metabolite chloroeacetic acid, and its possible metabolic intermediates, chloroethanol and chloroacetaldehyde, by their ability to revert a bacterial tester strain. Ethylene dichloride and 2-chloroethanol were described as weakly mutagenic compared to chloroacetaldehyde, which was hundreds of times more effective in causing reversions. Monochloroacetic acid showed no activity in the testing.
Correlation of Exposure and Effect Ethylene dichloride has anesthetic m-nnerHeg but it was found to be
too toxic to be used for this purpose. [32-35] Guinea pigs developed a state of unconciousness in 0.5 hour with exposures of 4,000 and 4,500 ppm. [42] A monkey exposed at 4,500 ppm for 10 minutes became unable to
72
ion65
SIj
maintain itself on the perch of the cage. [42] During a 7-hour exposure at 3,000 ppm, guinea pigs, rats, mice, and
rabbits showed varying degrees of narcosis according to Heppel et al. [106] Spencer et al [108] considered that the inactivity or stupor and slowness of response to handling of rats exposed for up to 8 hours to a series of concentrations in the range of 300 to 3,000 ppm may have been due to toxic injury other than central nervous system depression.
Workers acutely poisoned by occupational exposure to ethylene di chloride developed s^mptomsindicativeofcentra^_>jierv^s>BMis^sten^iiiigffects including headache, dizziness, feelings, of ..drunkenness. and sometimes unconciousness. [74-77,80-82,86] In some cases workers who were not overcome during exposure became unconscious later. [81,86]
Because of the profound effects of other chlorinated hydrocarbons on the liver and kidneys, many of the clinical and epidemiologic studies with ethylene dichloride have been directed toward the detection of dysfunction and degeneration of these organs. Evidence of liver and kidney injuries have been noted following both ingestion and occupational exposure, as evidenced by increased serum bilirubin. [9,86] decreased blood lucose. [82] positive Takata-Ara tests, [9,86] tender and palpable liver, [9] and the presence in the urine of albumin, blood cells, and, hyaline and granular casts. [86,102]
However, even repeated exposures at high concentrations in animals and accidental poisonings in humans produced only slight to moderate fatty degeneration in the liver and kidneys. [75,107,108] What was much more evident in these and other organs at autopsy was the hyperemia and
73
SL 101166
hemorrhaging into the tissues. [44,46,47,50,52,54,56,57,60,61,62,65, 66,68,75,76,77,81]
ingestion, vapor inhalation, and absor^tiot^hrough^h^skin^^er^^similar. Early signs of circulatory damage included bleeding into the visceral organs, [46,50,51,54,56,62,70], cyanosis, [46,50,52,54,55,57,59 60,65,75,81,84,86] and rapid, and weak pulse. [46,50,52,56,59,74,81,84] Acute exposures, both by ingestion and inhalation, were often fatal. Death resulted from .respiratory and circulatory failure, following a period of nausea, vomiting, and unconsciousness. Autopsies revealed hyperemia and hemorrhagic lesions in the stomach, intestines, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys. [46,47,4952,54,56,57,59,61-62,64-66,70,72,73,75,76,81]
Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) and hyperfibrinolysis were reported in 1969 by Martin et al [64] in a patient who had ingested ethylene dichloride. They first noticed prolonged bleeding from veni punctures 24 hours after the ingestion and then studied the clotting factors, finding a reduction in factors II, V, VII, and VIII and complete defibrination. Platelet count was low (14,300/cu mm), fibrinolysis was markedly increased, and proactivator levels were below 10% of normal. Autopsy examination revealed thrombi In the pulmonary arterioles and capillaries, and hemorrhages into the mucosa of the esophagus, stump of the stomach, rectum, subepicardial, subendocardial, and myocardial tissues.
A decrease in clotting factors II and V was also found by Schonborn et al [65] 5.5 hours after a person ingested ethylene dichloride. Yodaiken and Babcock [66] noted that 2 hours after a patient ingested ethylene dichloride the prothrombin time was increased and the clotting
74
SL 101167
ability of the blood continued to decrease. On the 4th day, all clotting factors except VIII were markedly decreased.
An absence of clots and intensely red, thick blood were among the autopsy findings in 2 workers following an acute occupational exposure. [75] Extensive subepicardial, subendocardial, and a few subpleural hemorrhages were also found.

Cetnarowicz [9] investigated the possibility of ethylene dichloride poisoning in an oil refinery in Poland where the concentrations were In the range of 10-200 ppm. Ten workers employed in the centrifuge room, where 3 concentration measurements were 62, 64, and 200 ppm, complained of a burning sensation of the eyes and lacrimation. Six of the workers had dryness of the mouth, an unpleasant sweet aftertaste, dizziness, lassitude, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and loss of appetite. Three workers also complained of pain in the epigastrium. Of 6 workers employed in other sections of the plant, where concentrations ranged from 10 to 37 ppm, one worker complained of the above-mentioned symptoms.
Further clinical investigations showed liver tenderness upon palpation in 4 workers, epigastric pain in 7 persons, elevated urobilinogen levels in the majority of individuals, abnormal percentile distribution of white blood cells in 8 persons. Other abnormal findings included high serum bilirubin levels, elevated nonprotein nitrogen levels, diminished
75
VV>*>
amounts of albumin in the serum, elevated globulin levels, positive Takata-
Ara tests, and delayed return to normal values in the glucose tolerance test.
Two reports [88,91] of years of experience with ethylene dichloride
in Russia indicated that acute effects were found after exposure at 75-125
ppm. The symptoms of these acute effects included general weakness,
headache, dizziness, vomiting (usually producing a trace of bile), and
irritation of the skin and mucous membranes. When some workers experienced these signs and symptoms 2 or more times in a period of 2 to 3 weeks,
fatalities resulted. However, there was no mention of the method of air
sampling, of the number of people exposed, or the duration of exposure.
Byers [93] reported that delayed effects of ethylene dichloride, such
as lassitude^^nause^jjomitin^^and^^j^gjjijiaijgiji^were experienced in the
evening by workers exposed at 100 ppm or slightly higher for 7.5 hours
daily. These effects were not completely alleviated when ventilation
procedures reduced the ethylene dichloride concentration to 70 ppm.
Exposure conditions were more extensively described for the 2 cases of neurological involvement reported by Guerdjikoff. [97] These workers
used a gas mask for the operation where higher ethylene dichloride
concentrations were expected for 2-3 minutes about 10 times/day. In this
operation, there was opportunity for occasional exposure if the mask was
not worn properly. In another operation, the workers were exposed 3-4
times/day for 10 minutes each time at a concentration of about 120 ppm, and
in another operation, they were exposed at a higher concentration for 10-15
minutes once/day. made.
An estimate of the daily TWA for these workers was not
76
%0^
The workers developed sensory and motor problems during 6-9 months of exposure. [97] Anorexia, epigastric pains, fatigue, irritability, and nervousness appeared first after 3 weeks of exposure. Eventually each worker developed a difficulty in walking, trembling hands, and hyperhidrosls.
Heightened lability of the autonomic nervous system, diffuse red dermographism, increased hidrosis, fatigability, irritability, and insomnia were among the responses reported by Rosenbaum [88] in a group of 100 workers exposed to ethylene dichloride at less than 25 ppm for 6 months to 5 years.
Impairment of the central nervous system and increased morbidity, especially diseases of the liver and bile ducts, were found in workers chronically exposed to ethylene dichloride at concentrations below 40 ppm and averaging 10-15 ppm. [105]
An analysis of the data presented by the author indicated a TWA concentration of about 15 ppm (see Table XII-3 and Figures XI-1 and XI-2). There are reasons to suspect that this may be an overestimate of most of the workers' exposures. The author pointed out that an insignificant number of the workers were employed in disassembling the metal molds, washing the tanks, etc. During disassembly of the metal forms, the workers were inside the tanks where ethylene dichloride concentrations of about 4552 ppm were found. These concentrations were included by the author in the array associated with gluing. The measurements were apparently not breathing zone measurements and the ventilation system was designed with the exhaust ducts on the floor. As a consequence, the author [105] found an average concentration of about 27 ppm near the gluing table, about 40
77
SL 101170
ppm at 1 meter from the floor, and about 6 ppm at 2 meters from the floor. From these considerations it would appear that a more realistic appraisal of the TWA exposures of the majority of workers is 10-15 ppm.
Ethylene dichloride was found in the milk of nursing women occupa tionally exposed at approximately 15.5 ppm for an unspecified time. [99] The concentrations of ethylene dichloride in the milk ranged from 0.54 to 0.64 mg X. Concentrations of about 14.5 ppm ethylene dichloride were found in the women's breath. Eighteen hours after exposure, the concentrations of ethylene dichloride in milk samples and breath were found to be 0.1950.63 mg X and 2-4 ppm, respectively. This one report of ethylene dichloride concentrations in the milk of female workers is supported by one study of ethylene dichloride concentrations in the milk of cows fed 1.75 to 17.5 mg/kg (based on body weights of about 400 kg). Additional research on this subject is needed.
Brzozowski et al [104] considered that absorption of ethylene dichloride through the skin was primarily responsible for producing such symptoms as nausea, weakness, abdominal pain, irritation of the mucous membranes, and weakness in the agricultural workers they studied. The workers were exposed in the field at atmospheric concentrations of about 15 ppm. Exposures to about 60 ppm occurred during transfer of ethylene dichloride into buckets. The workers were exposed to direct contact with the liquid that was spilled in large quantities on their skin and clothes while carrying it to the field in open buckets and they used it to wash their skin.
Medical examinations were performed on 118 workers. Ninety of them had some positive findings, including conjunctival congestion, weakness.
78
reddening of the pharynx, bronchial symptoms, metallic taste in the mouth, headache, dermatographism, nausea, cough, liver pain, burning sensation of the conjunctiva, hastened pulse, and dyspnea after effort. The "hippuric acid Quick test" was used to measure liver dysfunction and was reported to be positive in 40 of 56 workers investigated. [104]
A mixture of 25% ethylene dichloride and 75% carbon tetrachloride is used for grain fumigation in the United States. There are no reports in the literature of poisoning from the use of this fumigant mixture. However, in Italy, where the proportions of ethylene dichloride and carbon tetrachloride are approximately reversed, there are many reports of fumi gant intoxication. [78-80,85,102]
Experimental studies performed by Borisova [4,101] resulted in effects on the vascular and respiratory systems with short-term exposure at
> very low concentrations of ethylene dichloride. A 30-second exposure of 4 subjects at 1.5 ppm resulted in a temporary stenosis of the blood vessels in all 4 subjects. This reaction was generally more pronounced especially in the vessels of the fingers when the exposure was at 3 ppm.
Borisova [4,101] found that a 1-minute exposure at 1.5 ppm produced a change in the depth of breathing as indicated by an Increase in the height of the wave of the spirogram.
Experimental exposures to animals have resulted In circulatory effects similar to those found in humans, including pulmonary congestion and edema with focal extravasation of blood, generalized congestion throughout the visceral organs, hyperemia, and hemorrhage into the lungs, stomach, intestines, liver, and adrenals. [42,106-109]
79
SL 101172
Guinea pigs were exposed at concentrations from 600 to 60,000 ppm ethylene dichloride for periods up to 8 hours by Sayers et al, [42] Congestion and edema of the lungs and generalized passive congestion of the visceral organs were found in animals that died during exposure at 30,000 or 60,000 ppm for 30-40 minutes. Pulmonary congestion and edema and renal hyperemia were found in animals exposed at concentrations greater than 1,200 ppm. No deaths or apparent symptoms resulted from 8-hour exposures at 1,200 ppm.
Pulmonary congestion and hemorrhage, generalized visceral congestion, hepatic necrosis, and slight fatty degeneration of the renal tubular epithelium were found by Heppel et al [106] in rabbits, rats, and mice that died from exposure at 3,000 ppm ethylene dichloride. Guinea pigs exposed at the same concentrations developed focal necrosis of the adrenal cortex, sometimes with hemorrhage, and fatty degeneration of the myocardium was found in 7 of 8 guinea pigs. Repeated 7-hour exposures at 1,500 ppm resulted in hemorrhage in the lungs, stomach, intestines, and adrenals, fatty degeneration of the myocardium, and congestion in the liver and intestines of rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and dogs. [106]
Degenerative changes in the renal tubular epithelium, pulmonary congestion with focal extravasation of blood, congestion, hemorrhage and fatty changes in the liver, and focal myocarditis were among the effects noted by Heppel et al [107] after exposing various animals at 1,000 ppm for 7 hours/day, 5 days/week for up to 177 days. When the exposure concentration was lowered to 200 ppm, mortality remained high but only occasional pathological findings, varying from animal to animal, were observed. These included pulmonary congestion, fatty degeneration of the
80
v
renal convoluted tubules, necrosis and hemorrhage in the liver, necrosis of the adrenal cortex, and fine fat droplets in the liver and myocardium, [107]
Spencer et al {108] exposed a variety of animals at 400 ppm ethylene dichloride for 7 hours/day. One of 2 exposed monkeys died after 8 exposures and the other died after 12 exposures. Prothrombin time was increased and microscopic findings included fatty degeneration of the liver and kidneys.
No abnormal findings were observed grossly or microscopically in 2 male monkeys subjected to 148 7-hour exposures at 100 ppm ethylene dlchloride in 212 days. [108]
Both male and female guinea pigs exposed at 100 ppm ethylene dichlo ride for as many as 162 7-hour exposures in 226 days had reduced growth rates and increased liver to body weight ratios compared to controls. Lung, heart, kidney, spleen, and testes organ weight to body weight ratios were normal. [108] Cats similarly exposed also had reduced growth rates. [109]
A summary of findings from animal exposures is presented in Table XII-4.
Ethylene dichloride was shown to be metabolized to monochloroacetlc acid through 2-chloroethanol in mice. [126] Both thzse compounds are more toxic than ethylene dichloride. [131,134] The signs of poisoning by 2chloroethanol from both accidental and occupational exposures of humans and experimental exposures of animals is very similar to those resulting from ethylene dichloride poisoning. [127-131] This similarity of signs, symptoms, and microscopic findings provides evidence that the mechanism of
81
SL 101174
human poisoning from ethylene dichloride resides at least in part in its metabolic products. [124,131,133]
There were no reports found in the literature dealing directly with carcinogenic or teratogenic effects of ethylene dichloride.
A feeding study conducted by the National Cancer Institute (EK Weisburger, written communication, January 1976) showed that some female rats developed mammary tissue masses after receiving 50 and 100 mg/kg ethylene dichloride in their diet for 78 weeks. No statistical or histopathologic data were given concerning the tumors.
Ethylene dichloride and its known metabolic product, chloroacetic acid, showed low mutagenicity when tested by McCann et al [135] on a tester strain of bacteria. However, by comparison, the possible intermediate metabolites, chloroethanol and chloroacetaldehyde, were extremely potent mutagens.
