Environmental and breathing-zone samples were analyzed for organic-solvent vapors, formaldehyde, hydrogen-sulfide, sulfur-dioxide, and carbon monoxide at Carey Plastics, Carey, Ohio in December, 1984. The survey was requested by management and the union local to investigate an outbreak of illness in the workforce. The authors conclude that the illness outbreak was due to a combination of factors, rather than to a single substance. Recommendations include not idling towing motors unnecessarily, installing local exhaust ventilation, and operating the mold at the proper temperature.
