Health Hazard Evaluation Report HETA 83-376-1556, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6060284
Area air samples were analyzed for acrolein, aldehydes, organic solvents, acids, and phthalates at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire in December, 1983. The evaluation was requested by a union representative due to employee reports of headache, nausea, and other irritative symptoms during systems testing on a submarine being overhauled at the shipyard. The authors conclude that the reported symptoms are due to combined effects of acrolein and other aldehydes. Due to the relatively low concentration involved, the risk of chronic health effects seem slight. Recommendations include properly ventilating the affected work areas and using respiratory personal protective equipment.
