Gasoline vapor exposure during bulk handling operations. 1978

C F Phillips, and R K Jones

The survey evaluated gasoline vapor concentrations in the employees, breathing zone at five bulk handling facilities. Charcoal tube samples were analyzed by a special GLC/flame ionization/flasher technique which coupled with a computer program identified up to 142 constituents. A time-weighted limit of 240 ppm/10-hour day was only exceeded for five percent of the time at one location.
