Technical Report · Tue Jan 04 04:00:00 EST 1977

OSTI ID:7218609

Preliminary technological and economic information related to the proposed standard for occupational exposure to lead is provided. An assessment of the technological feasibility of compliance necessary to meet the proposed permissible exposure level of 100 micrograms per cubic meter of lead in air, an estimate of compliance costs, and the subsequent economic implications for those industries affected by the proposed standard are included. The effect of implementing the proposal on variables such as equipment, prices, productivity, market structure, exports and imports, and the consumption of energy and critical materials has also been considered. Forty six industries in which employee exposure to lead was believed to occur were targeted.
