Description:Environmental and personal air samples were analyzed for methylene- chloride (75092), isopropyl-alcohol (67630), acetone (67641), and ethyl-acetate (141786) at the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Drug Abuse Laboratory (SIC-8071), in Atlanta, Georgia on November 20, 1980. A staff member requested the evaluation on behalf of approximately five affected employees. All samples were below the evaluation criteria of 75, 400, 250, and 400 parts per million for an 8 hour time weighted average for methylene-chloride, isopropyl- alcohol, acetone, and ethyl-acetate, respectively. The author concludes that a health hazard from solvent vapor exposure did not exist at this laboratory, and recommends additional laboratory hoods and improved solvent waste disposal.
