This report summarizes the health programs under the Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) Process Contract from January 1, 1974, through June 30, 1977. The major areas of activity within the health programs are: an industrial hygiene monitoring program, a clinical examination program, an educational program, and a toxicological program. Extensive industrial hygiene monitoring data has been acquired. The results indicate, in general, quite low worker exposures. The clinical program has found a few cases of mild transient photodermatitis but no permanent or serious problems. The employee orientation and educational program has been generally successful. The toxicological program, which will utilize animal bioassays to determine toxicity of various materials, is in its early stages.
