• Description:
  On the basis of environmental sampling in the workplace, and a review of the confidential health questionnaires, potentially toxic levels of hydrochloric-acid, and ammonia fumes are measured in the board plating room (SIC-3629) of the Foxboro Company Highland Plant, East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, during cleaning of the Endura- etching machine.
