• Description:
  Environmental and medical evaluations in a plant manufacturing television and stereo cabinets reveal no health hazard to color patchers and spray booth operators exposed to normal-butyl-acetate (123864), methyl-isobutyl-ketone (108101), toluene (108883), and xylene (1330207). Roundtable shaper operators are exposed to potentially toxic concentrations of wood dust. Recommendations include improved plant ventilation, improved exhaust system in the roundtable shaper area, and use of respirators when spraying paint. Description provided by NIOSH
