• Description:
  Exposures to N-nitroso compounds were surveyed at Oaks Tire facility (SIC-3079) of the B.F. Goodrich Company in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on September 18, 1978. The Oaks facility employed 1150 production and 200 administration workers. Air samples were collected using thermosorb tubes, 1 normal potassium-hydroxide traps, on Tenax tubes, and were analyzed using gas chromatography with thermal energy analysis (TEA) on high performance liquid chromatography with TEA. All area air samples contained N-nitrosomorpholine (59892) (NMOR) at concentrations ranging from 0.25 to about 3 micrograms per cubic meter. NMOR concentrations in samples taken near specific processes ranged from 6.6 to 8.5 micrograms per cubic meter. N- nitrosodimethylamine (62759) also was detected in two of the process samples at a concentration of 1.7 micrograms per cubic meter. [Description provided by NIOSH]
