On March 18, 1992, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request from the Sharonville, Ohio, Department of Health, to conduct a Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) at the Ohio State Auditors Office in Sharonville, Ohio. The Health Commissioner asked that NIOSH assist with the identification and source of an odor in the State Auditors Office. On March 26, and March 30, 1992, NIOSH investigators collected general area air samples for volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) within the State Auditors Office located on the ground floor, in an office on the second floor of the building, and in the adjacent office suite. On April 9, 1992, NIOSH investigators returned to conduct employee interviews and further sampling using the HNu photoionization analyzer. An environmental consulting firm concluded that the soils beneath the site appear to be contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbon and that further investigations should be conducted to define the limits of the contamination.
