• Description:
  Air samplings and interview of employees in the plating department of a plant producing refrigerator shelves and baskets lead to the conclusion that emissions from the acid tanks and welding operations are not toxic. Evaluation methods are described for chromates, cyanide (57125), and hydrochloric acid (7647010). Recent modification of the ventilation system has resulted in improvement of respiratory and eye irritation problems reported earlier. [Description provided by NIOSH]
