TENNECOINTER-OFFICE MEMO CHEMICALS, INC to J. T. Sweeney at Flemington date August 2, 1976 from r. a. Lojewski at Flemington subject VCM Exposure Data and TWA - Flemington Plant Area Monitoring System Period: July 17, 1976 to July 23, 1976 Copy to W. D. Bord C. No Brown* R. F0 Fanter W. F. Gabel M. R. Haymon D. Mo Hershkowitz Fo W. Kanzler W. Miringoff P. M. Reed S. Robbins* M. K Rosen G,, I. Rozand F. Toca R. J. Young TWA Only* Attached are the Plant area summaries (Tables I-III). Table XV lists all excursions at or above 100 ppm including the number of incidents. Table V shows the TWA by job classification calculated from the data in Tables I-III. Also attached is an analysis of the data by W. D. Bord. Graph #1 shows the percentage of readings above 1 and 5 ppm VCM for the Reactor Building, while Graph #2 shows weekly averages for the Reactor Building and the Pilot Plant. The Plant was in operation seven days for this report period running at about 100% utilization. The eight Bendix heads placed in special services 7/13/76 remained in special service through this report period. The high Reactor Building average (13.4) and the high Poly Foreman TWA (12.3 with air) are due to maintenance in the VCM Day Tank Area which averaged 131.8 for this report period.

Fifty nine readings at or above 100 ppm occurred during this report period reflecting nineteen separate incidents. Eight incidents occurred in the Reactor Building affecting the foreman's desk, center aisle 1st and 2nd floors, strippers #1 & 2 platforms, #2 slurry transfer pump and the VCM day tank area. One incident occurred in the Pilot Plant affecting the plastisol tower, VCM storage area and "E" reactor. Ten incidents occurred in the General Area affecting the VCM tank car unloading platforms and the VCM transfer pumps in the tank farm. RAL:ms R. A.
