New PVC levins with a low monomer content make it easier to operate below the OSHA action level or 0.5ppm in a processor's work area, assuming normal conditions and ventilation, simplifying compliance with some of the regulatory requirements. Further developmments on resins and on regulations are pending. ate 3/12/84 NAME AND TITLE D. GOODMAN. PRnnnrT RFGIll ATTnwc 77-1SHEET NUMBER TEN 2873
