• Description:
  Demonstration projects of control technology for reducing lead (7439921) (Pb) exposures in industrial lead reprocessing operations (SIC-3411) and emission controls at a battery breaking operation at the General Battery Corporation (GBC) Pb smelter in Reading, Pennsylvania were evaluated. A mechanized drossing station at the Tonolli North American smelter in eastern Pennsylvania was also evaluated. The drosser used an exhaust ventilation system that kept all components under negative pressure. Airborne Pb concentrations were reduced from 220 to 160microg/cu m. [Description provided by NIOSH]
