CIS 76-779 Phosgene formation during welding in air contaminatV ed with perchioroethylene. Andersson H.F., Dahlberg JA. Wettstrom R. Annals of Occupational Hygiene, Oxford, United Kingdom. Sep. 1975, Vol.18, No.2, p. 129-132. Illus. 7 ref. (In English) Perchloroethylene (PCE) is commonly used in workshops for degreasing and cleaning, and can thus contaminate the air around welders. Formation of phosgene caused by short-wave radiation from welding arcs in PCE-contami- nated air was studied experimentally, and the results compared with theoreti cal calculations. There was some agreement between the methods, especial ly for MIG welding of carbon steel. Welding in PCE-contaminated air is more hazardous than when the air contains trichloroethylene or methylchloroform, and should be avoided.

The findings are compared with those of similar surveys conduct ed in temperate countries. It is concluded that exposure to benzene (the pe trol contained 10-17% benzene) is hazardous in hot weather and that the workers concerned should be informed of the toxic nature of petrol vapours and the need to avoid inhalation. <os060t CIS 76-788 Airway disease caused by phenolic (phenol-formalde hyde) resin exposure.

A report on an epidemiological study of meat wrappers asthma was presented to the American Public Health Association meeting by Dr. Carl J. Johnson, formerly with the Seattle-King County Health Depart ment and now Director of Health in Jefferson County Health Department, Lakewood, Colo. Co-author was Herbert W. Anderson of the Scattlc-King County Health Department. Tile studies were conducted in Washington State packing house workers and those employed in meat markets. Symptoms among the workers affected included respiratory (cough, chest pain, breathlessness), systemic (headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, fever and myalgia). Smokers experienced more severe effects than non-smokers. The manufacturer reportedly conducted an investigation of the respiratory symptoms associated with the fumes produced in the meat-wrapping process and had concluded that those fumes did not present any hazard to meat wrappers. Dr. Johnson daid. He commented: "hi view of other recent reports of illness in meat wrappers exposed to fumes from this source, and other reports concerning the carcinogenic effect of polyvinyl chloride, and the lack of sufficient laboratory studies of the acute and chronic effects of the pyrolysis products of this type of film, the conclusion that the fumes are not hazardous would seem to be unwarranted. The systemic nature of some of the symp toms reported as a result of exposure to these fumes would appear to indicate that the effects of exposure iay be more than transient." Although allergy has been suggested as a cause for the symptoms of meat-wrappers asthma, the pres ence of such powerful irritants as hydrogen chloride (HCI) and perhaps trace amounts of phosgene seem to make a better case for direct chemical injury to the respiratory system. Dr. Johnson said. Persons who smoke cigarettes apparently experience a synergistic or additive effect with the combination of pyrolysis products of tobacco and plastic, lie said. -,N "The nature of the effects of the fumes requires that the fumes be adequately exiiausted from the. working area at the point where they arc generated," Dr. Johnson said. "In addition, the working area should be provided with adequate ventilation, despite the fact that this may be difficult to do, since in many packing plants the packaging operation is done in a refrigerated room. Perhaps an improved method of cutting and sealing the films can be used in which the film is sealed without pyrolysis and then cut with a sharp edge. If effective control of the fumes is not achieved; employees who sinoke or have respiratory disease should be transferred to another location. "Apparently the use^of this film and the use of the thermocutting and thermosealing process for-packagin'g'ftiod and other items is widespread. This would seem to indicate that exposure to these fumes is a significant occupational health problem which requires further and more detailed investigation." -**** 0 n Vl - 'v ^ , W d-s/. ^ ( i^") Y rp\ If- AFL-CIO BLASTS OSllA PROPOSAL ON MIGRANT WORKERS, ASKS PUBLIC HEARINGS: Ji Hie APL-( IC) has denounced proposals by OSHA to "weaken" Federal standards governing employer* owned housing for migrant farm workers as "atrocious" and asked that public hearings be held.

Cancer link closes PVC plant in Norway Norsk Hydro, Norway's big petro chemicals producer, has temporari ly shut down its 60,000 metric-tonper-year polyvinyl chloride plant at tHeroya. The decision was taken on the basis of a regulation issued re cently by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to lower the level of U.S. worker exposure to vinyl chloride to 1 p.p.m. (C&EN, Oct. 7, page 5). The Norwegian plant will be shut for several weeks while an indepen dent team of doctors and other ex perts evaluates the situation there. What will likely happen is that the plant will restart with a limit of vinyl chloride exposure lower than the 20 to 30 p.p.m. now in effect. However, the consensus is that the Norwegian authorities won't follow OSHA s regulation. And the work ers themselves have expressed the desire to resume production. Management at Norsk Hydro is particularly sensitive about the safety aspects of its PVC operation because of the death in 1972 from angiosarcoma of one employee. The 600 workers at the PVC plant cur rently are undergoing intensive medical tests. Should Norsk Hydro decide to pull out of PVC production, how ever, it will affect a plan, arrived at earlier this month, to make 300,000 metric tons per year of vinyl chlo ride at nearby Rafnes. Continental Oil will provide technical assistance toward setting up that unit and will take some of the product when it comes on stream in 1977. Other PVC makers throughout Europe are keeping a close watch on developments in Norway. In the U.K., for instance, a tripartite group established earlier this year by the Chemical Industries Associ ation, the Trades Union Congress, and the Department of Employ ment is preparing a code of practice to control public health risks of the chemical. But members of the asso ciation's vinyl chloride committee take the position that technology isn't available to enable a plant to operate at an exposure level of 1 p.p.m., although attempts are being made to reduce concentration in the working environment well below the 25-p.p.m. limit now in practice. Likewise, in West Germany the recommended 50 p.p.m. vinyl chlo ride maximum that appeared in the "maximum working place concen trations list" issued by a commis sion of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft--a government group concerned with safety among chem ical workers--was withdrawn three weeks ago. A revised limit will be issued shortly which, one observer believes, "will be much lower." Senate passes science policy bill The Senate hastily has approved, without a dissenting vote, an omni bus federal science policy bill that among other things calls for estab lishing a White House Council of Advisers on Science and Technolo gyHowever, there's virtually no chance that the House will act on the measure in the lame-duck ses sion after the elections. One reason is that Rep. Olin E. Teague (D.Tex.), chairman of the House Science and Astronautics Commit tee, has indicated to the committee staff that he intends to continue with earlier plans to hold a third round of hearings on the federal science apparatus next spring. The Senate bill, S. 32, the "Na tional Policy and Priorities for Science and Technology Act of 1974," contains remnants of an ear lier version of S. 32, the "National Science Policy and Priorities Act" introduced by Sen, Edward M. Kennedy (D.-Mass.) as well as of S. 2495 and S. 1686. Among other things, S. 32 sets as national policy that there must be a continuing federal investment in science and technology adequate to the needs of the nation and that the national capabilities for technologi cal planning and policy formulation must be strengthened. Major provisions of the bill to ac complish these objectives include: Establishing a three-member White House Council to advise the President on federal policies, plans, and programs in science and tech nology. The chairman of the coun cil would serve as the Science and Technology Adviser to the Presi dent and as chairman of a new in teragency Federal Coordinating Committee for Science and Tech nology (FCCST). Replacing the existing Federal Council for Science and Technology with a new entity (FCCST) that would have statutory authority to coordinate federal science and tech nology. Establishing in the National Science Foundation an Intergovern- Kennedy: needs of the nation mental Science and Technology Advisory Committee to foster state use of science and technology. NSF would make grants of up to $100,000 to each state to set up an Office of Science and Technology. Funding an 18-month, $1.5 million NAS study of the federal organization for civilian science and technology. The report is to include recommendations for improving federal science and technology or ganization. Requiring the President to submit an annual science and tech nology report to Congress. Finally, the Senate bill would make several changes in NSF pro grams and policies. For instance, within 90 days of enactment of the bill, NSF is to initiate a program of continuing education in science and engineering to enable scientists and engineers who have been working for at least five years to acquire new knowledge, techniques, and skills in their special fields or in other fields. The bill also provides for the development of special curriculums and educational tech niques and the award of fellowships to scientists and engineers.
