• Description:
  Environmental air samples were analyzed for butyl-methacrylate (97881) and total hydrocarbons from the Qwip telephone facsimile recorder in the Federal Aviation Administration Credit Union in Jamaica, New York during the week of January 22, 1981. An evaluation request came from an authorized representative of the affected workers. Air concentrations of butyl-methacrylate ranged from 0.13 to 0.29 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/cum). Air concentrations of total hydrocarbons, ranged from 0.25 to 0.42 mg/cum. There are no standards for exposure to butyl-methacrylate or total hydrocarbons. The author recommends that Qwip devices be moved to a better ventilated, less congested part of the building.
