• Description:
  Environmental and medical evaluations of a foundry manufacturing gray iron (7439896) castings reveal toxic levels of silica (7631869), potentially toxic levels of iron oxide (1317619), and irritant toxicity of ammonia (7664417), formaldehyde (50000), and phenol (108952). Carbon-monoxide (630080), toluene (108883), and xylene (1330207) are not found in toxic concentrations. Recommendations include engineering control of silica levels, including improved ventilation
  
  improved housekeeping
  
  medical surveillance program for prevention of silicosis
  
  safety education programs
  
  and improved ventilation systems in areas containing respiratory irritants. [Description provided by NIOSH]
