Personnel and plant area monitoring at the University of Minnesota-Duluth gasifier

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5001027
; ; ;
A comprehensive program of health and environmental studies was conducted of the small fixed bed gasifier at the University of Minnesota Duluth. A major area of investigation in this program was the occupational health experience of gasifier employees. Studies were directed at determining employee exposures to several stresses encountered at the gasifier; evaluating the impacts of plant operating parameters and controls on employee exposure; evaluating the toxicity associated with selected process products and by-products to which employees might be exposed; and evaluating the health experience of the employees through a medical surveillance program.
