Title: Occupational Exposure to Benzene from Painting with Epoxy and Other High Performance Coatings

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/881339· OSTI ID:881339

Following the discovery of trace benzene in paint products, an assessment was needed to determine potential for benzene exposures to exceed the established ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) during painting operations. Sample data was collected by area industrial hygienists for benzene during routine maintenance and construction activities at Savannah River Site. A set of available data from the IH database, Sentry, was analyzed to provide guidance to the industrial hygiene staff and draw conclusions on the exposure potential during typical painting operations.
