ARBETE OCH HÄLSA Redaktör: Anders Kjellberg Redaktionskommitté: Anders Colmsjö och Ewa Wigaeus Hjelm © Arbetslivsinstitutet & författarna 1998 Arbetslivsinstitutet, 171 84 Solna, Sverige ISBN 91–7045–472–8 ISSN 0346-7821 Tryckt hos CM Gruppen Preface The Nordic Council is an intergovernmental collaborative body for the five countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. One of the committees, the Nordic Senior Executive Committee for Occupational Environmental Matters, initiated a project in order to produce criteria documents to be used by the regulatory authorities in the Nordic countries as a scientific basis for the setting of national occupational exposure limits. The management of the project is given to an expert group. At present the Nordic Expert Group consists of the following member: Vidir Kristjansson Administration of Occupational, Safety and Health, Iceland Petter Kristensen National Institute of Occupational Health, Norway Per Lundberg (chairman) National Institute for Working Life, Sweden Vesa Riihimäki Institute of Occupational Health, Finland Leif Simonsen National Institute of Occupational Health, Denmark For each document an author is appointed by the Expert Group and the national member acts as a referent. The author searches for literature in different data bases such as Toxline, Medline, Cancerlit and Nioshtic. Information from other sources such as WHO, NIOSH and the Dutch Expert Committee is also used as are handbooks such as Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology. Evaluation is made of all relevant scientific original literature found. In exceptional cases information from documents difficult to access are used. The draft document is discussed within the Expert Group and is finally accepted as the Group's document. Editorial work is performed by the Group's Scientific Secretary, Johan Montelius, and technical editing by Ms Karin Sundström both at the National Institute for Working Life in Sweden. Only literature judged as reliable and relevant for the discussion is referred to in this document. Concentrations in air are given in mg/m3 and in biological media in mol/l. In case they are otherwise given in the original papers they are if possible recalculated and the original values are given within brackets. The documents aim at establishing a dose-response/dose-effect relationship and defining a critical effect based only on the scientific literature. The task is not to give a proposal for a numerical occupational exposure limit value. The evaluation of the literature and the drafting of this document on Thermal Degradation Products of Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, Polyvinylchloride and Polytetrafluoroethylene in the Processing of Plastics was made by Dr Antti Zitting at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health. The final version was accepted by the Nordic Expert Group November 20, 1997, as its document. We acknowledge the Nordic Council for its financial support of this project.

This fact is reflected in the structure of this document, which differs from the standard documents of the Nordic Expert Group. The toxic properties of numerous emerging individual degradation products have not been examined. There exist a lot of publications on the analysis of degradation products, but only some examples that seemed to be representative and relevant for the occupational setting are presented. The document also ignores the studies in combustion toxicology and is focused on degradation conditions, which typically occur in the processing of plastics. Polytetrafluoroethylene is somewhat of an exception – its typical occupational hazards originate from degradation at very high temperatures, for instance from smoking contaminated cigarettes. Plastics are typically divided into two major groups: thermosets and thermo- plastics. The former are polymerised or mechanically processed to the final form, while the latter are processed in molten state. This document deals with poly- ethylenes (PE), polypropylenes (PP), polystyrene (homopolymer) (PS) and polyvinylchloride (PVC), which all are thermoplastics. These polymers are the most used plastic materials. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is included because its thermal degradation products are widely known to cause the so-called polymer fume fever. The toxic effects from synthetic polymers may arise from: • Toxicity associated with the use of the final plastic products • Toxicity that arises during the manufacture of the plastic materials • Toxicity due to the thermal decomposition products of plastics • Toxicity from compounds leaching from materials The toxic properties of the monomers (e.g. vinyl chloride, butadiene) used to produce synthetic polymers have been the subject of extensive research. The investigations on the toxicity of thermal decomposition products have focused mainly on "combustion toxicology"; actual fires have been simulated to reveal the acute toxic hazards of smoke. The polymeric organic materials are in general combustible and involve risk of fire when heated in air. In actual

  • Products Evolved During Hot Gas Welding of Fluoropolymers
    Health and Safety Executive Products evolved during hot gas welding of fluoropolymers Prepared by the Health and Safety Laboratory for the Health and Safety Executive 2007 RR539 Research Report Health and Safety Executive Products evolved during hot gas welding of fluoropolymers Chris Keen BSc CertOH Mike Troughton BSc PhD CPhys MInstP Derrick Wake BSc, Ian Pengelly BSc, Emma Scobbie BSc Health and Safety Laboratory Broad Lane Sheffield S3 7HQ This report details the findings of a research project which was performed as a collaboration between the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and The Welding Institute (TWI). The project aim was to identify and measure the amounts of products evolved during the hot gas welding of common fluoropolymers, to attempt to identify the causative agents of polymer fume fever. Carbonyl fluoride and/or hydrogen fluoride were detected from certain fluoropolymers when these materials were heated to their maximum welding temperatures. Significant amounts of ultrafine particles were detected from all of the fluoropolymers investigated when they were hot gas welded. The report concludes that fluoropolymers should be hot gas welded at the lowest possible temperature to reduce the potential for causing polymer fume fever in operators. If temperature control is not sufficient to prevent episodes of polymer fume fever, a good standard of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) should also be employed. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Its contents, including any opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect HSE policy.

HER David Purser Role of fire retardant treatments Benefits of fire retardant treatments: 1. Reduce probability that a heat or ignition source will initiate a growing spreading fire – Reduce initial ignition probability – If ignition does occur may result in self- extinction/failure of propagation – Thereby essentially eliminate the toxic and environmental hazards from fires prevented 2. If the initial ignition resistance is overcome may reduce the rate of fire growth – May result in a period of very slow growth up to a critical fire size – Or may provide a slower t2 fire growth curve – In such cases may reduce the rate of toxic hazard development and increase the time available for escape or fire fighting HER David Purser BS7974 fire growth rate curves t^2 fire growth curves 10000 9000 8000 7000 6000 5000 4000 Slow 3000 Medium Heat release rate (Kilowatts) 2000 Fast Ultrafast 1000 Explosion 0 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 Time (s) HER David Purser BS7974 fire growth rate curves CBUF chairs HER David Purser Limitations of fire retardant treatments • Do not provide non-combustibility, but ignition resistance to a heat source up to a design limit.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS of FLUOROCARBON POLYMERS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE Public Health Service Center for Disease Control National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health September 1977 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 DHEW (NIOSH) Publication No. 77-193 PREFACE The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 emphasizes the need for standards to protect the health and safety of workers exposed to an ever-increasing number of potential hazards at their workplace. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has projected a formal system of research, with priorities determined on the basis of specified indices, to provide relevant data from which valid criteria for effective standards can be derived. Recommended standards for occupational exposure, which are the result of this work, are based on the health effects of exposure. The Secretary of Labor will weigh these recommendations along with other considerations such as feasibility and means of implementation in developing regulatory standards. It is intended to present successive reports as research and epidemiologic studies are completed and as sampling and analytical methods are developed. Criteria and standards will be reviewed periodically to ensure continuing protection of the worker. I am pleased to acknowledge the contributions to this report on the decomposition products of fluorocarbon polymers by members of the NIOSH staff and the valuable constructive comments by the Review Consultants on the Decomposition Products of Fluorocarbon Polymers and by Robert B.

    Extension 12. (a) (b) Animal hides decompose quickly unless they are cured to remove the water from the skin. The hide is first soaked in water to remove water-soluble substances, and hair is removed by soaking in a mixture of lime and water, followed by an enzyme mixture. The hair and any remaining tissue are removed by machine and the hide is washed and treated with tannic acid. The tannic acid displaces water from the spaces between the protein fibres of the hide, allowing the fibres to cement together to form a strong, water-resistant leather. 13.

  • Toxicity of Pyrolysis Products of Thermal-Resistant Plastics Including Polyamide and Polyester
    〔450〕 Toxicity of Pyrolysis Products of Thermal-Resistant Plastics Including polyamide and polyester Yasuhisa Yoshida, Koichi Kono, Akira Harada, Shuzo Toyota, Misuzu Watanabe and Kin Iwasaki Department of Hygiene and Public Health, Osaka Medical College, Osaka INTRODUCTION A certain kind of thermal-resistant plastics such as polyamide and polyester have been used widely among various industries or houses because of those excellent thermal stability, desirable combination of plasticity, lubricity and chemical inertness. When these plastics are used under crucial circumstances, particulary under a high temperature beyond these heat-proof limits for many hours or at incinerations of used plastics, dangerous gases and other substances are suspected to be produced. It is a vital subject for occupational health care and administration to analyze the de- gradation products, identify the influence upon the human body and establish adequate preventive measures. As a matter of fact, because of the properties of visibility and cleanness these plastic films are often used as wrapping materials of meat including poultry for oven cooking at heat-resistant limit temperature in many houses recently, so that the above-men- tioned purpose of the research also has a significance related to health care in the house- keepings. Many investigations about the toxicity of pyrolysis products of plastics have been reported. Cornish and Abar1) pyrolyzed polyvinyl chloride polymers in a stream of air at 600℃. They investigated and found that most deaths were due to carbon monoxide. Zapp2) studied the inhalation toxicity of pyrolysis products of polyurethane foam. Experimental animals revealed pulmonary congestion and edema after the exposure period. Coleman et al.3) observed particulate matter which was produced by pyrolysis of fluorinecontained thermal-resistant polymer (polytetrafluoroethylene) at 500 to 700℃, and found it to be the cause of particular polymer fume fever.
