STANDARDS ISSUED IN JANUARY S2T ' (Revision and Reaffirmation) STANDARDS ISSUED FEBRUARY AND MARCH None NEW STANDARDS 1. S8H (Proposed) - Respiratory Protection Fit Testing - J. R. Martin S8H was not issued on a serial letter at J. R. Martin*s request. Haskell Lab has developed data which indicates that protection factors of 400 to 3,000 can be obtained with a revised qualitative fit testing protocol. A final report on the testing program is expected in May. S8H will be revised and issued on a serial letter after the final report i3 received. DUP 1121677 DU 056120 _ ---- immmaL Air Quality Subcommittee Minutes -2- April 18, 1930 2. S7H (Proposed) - Chemical Protective Clothing - K. A. Chen, L. F. Percival A. R. Greening reported that J. w. Bowman expects to have a draft ready by the middle of the year. The ASTM F-23 Committee is expected to approve a permeation test method in June. REVISED STANDARDS 3. JlJ - Selected References on Air Pollution (9/76) - J. A. Morello, R. J. Dam 1' A complete rewrite of JlJ prepared by J. A. Morello and R. J. Dam was circulated and discussed. The subcommittee members are requested to review the rewrite and submit comments to R. J. Dam by 4/30/80. After comments, a revised draft is to be forwarded to A. R. Greening for preparation in standards format. Pink sheet copies of the revised draft are to be circulated to the subcommittee for final review and approval prior to issue. 4. J3J - Conversion Factors (7/76) - D. J. Stitzer Revisions to J3J proposed by D. J. Stitzer were reviewed and approved for issue pending circulation of pink sheet copies to the subcommittee for final review. 5. S13T - Hardware for Workspace Sampling and Analytical Methods (ii/78) - S. W. Dixon, L. T. Freeland Changes to S13T proposed by S. w. Dixon were reviewed and S13T was approved for issue pending the following: Paragraph 4.3 - S. w. Dixon to revise wording. Paragraph 5.4.2.2 - Century Systems Corporation has been acquired by Foxboro. L. T. Freeland is to check with Foxboro to determine if model numbers for the Century equipment will change. Paragraph 7.7 - s. w. Dixon is to revise wording.

Stowe is to provide a new address for Research Appliance Company. DUP 1121678 DU 056121 Air .uaiity Subcommittee Minutes 3 April 13, 1980 6. S2T - Threshold Limit Values of Airborne Contaminants (1/80) Continued publication o the ACGIH TLV tables in S2T has been questioned because at least 3,700 copies of the ACGIH booklet are purchased by Du Pont (vs. the approximately 2,000 copies of S2T that are printed) and because it is expected that Haskell may in the future recommend AEL's less conservative than the ACGIH TLV's. After an extended discussion, the following changes to S2T were agreed to: Add the OSHA Z tables (1910.1001). Delete the ACGIH TLV tables but retain a discussion of the ACGIH tables. Include as references: - The ACGIH TLV tables - The NIOSH/OSHA Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards - The OSHA Industrial Hygiene Field Operations Manual Add Haskell AEL values when they are available for publication. Change title to "Exposure Limits for Airborne Contaminants." Add Du Pont experimental and suspected carcinogen lists, but do not include the ISD synonym list. Eliminate the novel work schedule discussion. A revised draft is to be prepared by L. T. Freeland, J. R. Martin, and A. R. Greening. Pink sheet copies of the revised draft are to be circulated to the subcommittee for review. Copies of the final draft will be circulated to Legal and Haskell Lab prior to issue. 7. S11T - Setting Occupational Health Priorities (8/79) D. J. Calvo, S. W. Dixon S. W. Dixon proposed that the Scope of SllT be expanded from "setting priorities for work space sampling" to "setting occupational health priorities" and that in Section 5 greater weight be given to the degree of exposure. Details were attached to the meeting agenda. A general agreement on Dixon's proposals was obtained. It was agreed that the title should be changed to "Setting Occupational Health Priorities." S. W. Dixon and D. J. Calvo are to prepare a revised draft of SllT for review by the subcommittee. Additional items to be considered in the revision are: Relocate Section 7 to the beginning of the standard. ;See H. M. Baker's letter of 9/6/79.) DUP 1121679 DU 056122 Air Qualify Subcommittee Minutes April 13, 1980 Indicate that the standard an be used for two phases of priority setting, i.e.: Phase 1 - Setting priorities for sampling. Phase 2 - Setting priorities for corrective action. (Add example for Phase 2.) Indicate that rankings obtained are relative only, not absolute. Consider use of a hazard index such as used in H3U (green copy attached). Cover differences between using standard with engineering calculations and with data from sampling. The revised standard is to be publicized in the Standards Newsletter and the Safety Management Bulletin when it is issued. 8. S-G (Proposed) - Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation Safety R. J. Dam Responsibility for development of this proposed new standard was assigned to R. J. Dam. J. R. Martin will be a consultant. 9. Vessel Entry L. T. Freeland reported that OSHA and NIOSH are reviewing vessel entry procedures. Action by OSHA or NIOSH could affect S16G. 10. PSD Monitoring Requirements L. T. Freelana reported on conversations with T. A. Kittleman on the need for a standard to assist plants in meeting PSD monitoring requirements. The standard would provide a "roadmap" to follow. T. A. Kittleman will assist in development. The first step will be to develop a justification, Scope, and outline for the proposed standard for review by Standards management. 11. "Workshop" on Occupational Health/Industrial Hygiene, Air Sampling L. T. Freeland reported that preliminary plans (attached) have been developed for a workshop to be held the two days before the October Air Quality meeting. 12. 1980 PROGRAM GOALS 1986 program goals were reviewed by A. R. Greening and a recommend ed format for reviewing standards to meet these goals was distributed. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m. NEXT MEETING The next meeting of the Air Quality Subcommittee is scheduled for Thursday, June 5, 1980, at 8:30 a.m. in Room 13418, Nemours Building.

The name "Workshop" was selected because each person wno attends will be expected to make a short presentation and an aostract. The sponsoring group will be E30--coordinated by John Potts. The first meeting was held Marcn 27 (Freeland, Morello, Potts) with the following decisions: Name will be "Workshop on Occupational Health/Industrial Hygiene-Air Sampling." The format will be a 1.5-1.75 days in Wilmington area on Seotemcer 30 and October 1, 1980. (.This will be before the Air Quality Subcommittee Meeting, October 2, cost effective.) John 3otts will coordinate and issue a notice describing the format to apcear in tne ISO Environmental Newsletter (L. E. Rassmussan, Aoril issue). Because of all the orevious discussions also mentioned will be Freeland and Morello as coordinators. A list of potential participants was developed (30 names) and contacts will be conducted by ESQ. Past participants in the Air Sampling ESQ Course will be canvassed. Abstracts' wi11 be reauired for all presentations by July 15, 1980. It will be necessary to present some data for discussion in order to attend. The *ee for this workshop will be nominal to cover cost of luncheon, evening dinner and ori.nting. Probable site is Ramada Inn, put may change as Jonn Potts evaluates. Final program will be assembled prior to Air Quality Subcommittee Meeting ;n the week of August A through 8. This workshoo is designed to bring together personnel at tne working level to exchange analytical aids and problems.
