C-8 GROUND-LEVEL CONCENTRATIONS - WASHINGTON WORKS
Attached is a report from R. I. Mevodau, Engineering Services Division, concerning C-8 ground-level concentrations for Washington Works. Concentrations of C-8 were calculated using C-8
emission estimates based on a capacity production* and meteorological data covering a five-year period.** Annual mean, eight-hour maximum, and 1-hour maximum C-8 concentrations were calculated for 2400 points in a receptor grid. Concentrations of
C-8 were calculated for two cases:
Case 1A represents concentration estimates for the
period before May, 1981.
Case 1 represents expected C-8 concentrations after
the May, 1981 shutdown (when dryer stack heights were
increased by 15 feet).
In sunraary:
Case 1A and 1 annual mean C-8 concentrations are wel 1
be 1ow the provisional AEL of 10 ug/m3. The highest
Case 1A annual mean C-8 concentration is only about 5% of the provisional. AEL. Since long-term accumulation
of C-8 in the blood is a major concern, the annual mean concentration is the most important indicator of potential
employee exposure.
* Actual C-8 emissions wilt be Tess since Teflon production does not always operate at capacity.
** Meterorological data collected -in the Parkersburg area between
January 1, 1973 and December 31, 1977
