Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and polychlorinated dioxins (PCDDs). Technical manual
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5618725
This manual is intended to familiarize the industrial hygienist with the information that is most salient to understanding the health hazards related to occupational exposure to PCBs and their structural analogs, the furans and dioxins. A short summary of the regulations and standards which have been issued to date by the EPA, OSHA, NIOSH, and the ACGIH is included, as is a cursory review of the literature related to toxicological effects in animals and humans. General descriptions of sampling methodologies, a review of control practices, including required personal protective equipment, and NAVOSH requirements for medical surveillance are included to provide guidance to Navy health and medical personnel.
