DIBK can be produced by the hydrogenation of phorone which, in turn, is produced by the acid-catalyzed aldol condensation of acetone. It is also a by-product in the manufacture of methyl isobutyl ketone. Diisobutyl ketone ( 1.37/kg, October 1994) is produced in the United States by Union Carbide (Institute, West Virginia) and Eastman (Kingsport, Teimessee) (47), and is mainly used as a coating solvent. Catalytic hydrogenation of diisobutyl ketone produces the alcohol 2,6-dimethyl-4-heptanol [108-82-7].

Needless to say. Congress was upset. Because of Bhopal and the Institute, West Virginia, incidents, OSHA mandated its Hazard Communication Program, 29 CFR 1910.1200, in 1984. Later, other programs, such as SARA (Superfund) Title III reporhng requirements for all chemical users, producers, suppliers, storage enhties, were mandated by USEPA. 

It was this incident that led to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). This same chemical has been released on several occasions from the Union Carbide plant in Institute, West Virginia, shortly after Bhopal and as recently as 1996. Fortunately, these releases did not affect the surrounding conunnnity.

First instance-by-instance penalties proposed against Union Carbide s plant in Institute, West Virginia, tor egregious violations involving respiratory protection and injury and illness record keeping. 

After Bhopal and Institute, West Virginia, Congress decided that those personnel involved with working with or around hazardous materials had a right to know about the hazards near them, or the ones they worked with. Thus, OSHA s Hazard Communication Standard was created. The Hazard Communication Standard is, without a doubt, the r ulation most important to the communication of hazards to employees.
