Industrial hygiene monitoring for evaluation of employee exposure and control measures in coal conversion program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been actively engaged in a coal-conversion technology program since 1974. Since that time the industrial hygiene group has closely monitored the several different phases of this bench-scale and pilot-plant-scale program. During late 1979 and early 1980, industrial hygiene monitoring was increased significantly, both in terms of sampling frequency and number of workroom air contaminants sampled for. Many special samples and samples for contaminants not normally expected have been collected. The sampling methods and analytical techniques used are described in detail, as well as results of area and personal air sampling. Routine control measures employed in various coal-conversion facilities at ORNL are also discussed. 6 tables.
