OSTI ID:166937
In response to a request from the United Paperworkers International Union, potential exposures to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs) and chlorinated volatile organic compounds were evaluated at the Boise Cascade (SIC-2621), Rumford, Maine. Air samples and wipe samples were collected and analyzed. Airborne toxicity equivalent (I-TEQ) concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlor odibenzo-p-dioxin (1746016) (TCDD) ranged from 0.01 to 0.06 picgrams (pg) per cubic meter. Serum samples collected from community residents, low exposure potential workers and high exposure potential workers showed no appreciable differences among the exposure groups for specific PCDDs of PCDF. The authors conclude that no clear relationships were found between PCDDs and PCDFs in workers and exposure on the job. Periodic exposure monitoring should be conducted.
