The personnel working in the corrosion laboratory are usually exposed to a variety of chemicals and gases. The monitoring of airborne contaminants is to ensure that potential employee exposures are controlled. It is also useful to monitor chemical exposure of personnel and to compare the levels with chemical exposure guidelines of National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) OSHA (29 CFR 910.1450, 29 CFR 1910.1048, 11910.1001-1101, Z9 CFR 1910, subpart Z and National Health Canada). It is also useful to perform a walkthrough check for hazardous chemicals and exposure of personnel to the chemicals, as shown in Figure 3.2.

The identification of pollution prevention options has become a maintenance requirement. In addition to these requirements, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) performed its first investigation of indoor air quahty. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has also begun to research air quahty. 

High performance Hquid chromatography (hplc) may be used to determine nitroparaffins by utilizing a standard uv detector at 254 nm. This method is particularly appHcable to small amounts of nitroparaffins present, eg, in nitro alcohols (qv), which caimot be analyzed easily by gas chromatography. Suitable methods for monitoring and deterrnination of airborne nitromethane, nitroethane, and 2-nitropropane have been pubUshed by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (97). Ordinary sorbant tubes containing charcoal are unsatisfactory, because the nitroparaffins decompose on it unless the tubes are held in dry ice and analyzed as soon after collection as possible. 

Phenol fumes are irritating to the eyes, nose, and skin. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), exposure to phenol should be controUed so that no employees are exposed to phenol concentrations >20 mg/m, which is a time-weighted average concentration for up to a 10-h work day, 40-h work week. Phenol is very toxic to fish and has a nearly unique property of tainting the taste of fish if present in marine...
