PREFACE Tlie Haridbook of Iridmtrinl Toxicology arid Hazardous Materials has been prepared as a practical reference for those individuals and organizations dealing with dangerous or potentially hazardous chemicals and materials. The intent of the volunie is to provide easily understood information that can assist in the proper management and handling of chemicals, as well as providing basic information and guidance that can aid first responders to a hazardous materials incident. The handbook is not intended to be used as a textbook for instructional purposes; however it could serve as a reference for students and instructors of hazmat course studies. There are nunierous databases and publications on hazardous materials, many of which have been referenced in this volume and highlighted for the reader’s attention. Depending on the nature and extent of the reader’s chemical handling, management and/or level of responsibilities for chemicals and worker safety issues, these other references, including electronic databases, may have to be consulted. Additionally, authoritative organizations such as the ACGIH, OSHA. NIOSH, NFPA, IARC, UNDP, USDOT and others identified in this handbook, as well as local and company specific safety practices, should be heavily consulted when dealing with worker safety and health related issues. It is important to note that many OSHA ( U S . Occupational Safety and Health Act) terms are used throughout the handbook; however the author has made efforts to use and apply internationally recognized terminology and definitions as opposed to those which stein from the U.S. regulatory system. It is essential that industry, because of its global nature and widespread international chemical shipments, continue to develop and apply universally accepted terminology concerning chemical hazards. The primary infoimation contained in this handbook includes health and safety information for over one thousand coinmercial cheniicals, fire and chemical compatibility information, guidelines for responding to hazardous materials incidents involving spills and fires, physical and chemical properties information important to the safe handling of chemicals, personal protection information and data, and guidelines for personnel and work area safety monitoring and sampling. Chemical specific and safety information is provided in six chapters that follow an introductory chapter that provides an explanation of important terms used throughout the handbook along with detailed explanation on the organization of materials and how to apply them. The reader should carefully review Chapter 1 to understand these terms, the limitations of data, and the references used in compiling the information that has been organized. A substantial Glossary of Terms containing nearly seven hundred definitions is also provided at the end of the handbook for the reader’s convenience. Tlie reader must recognize that unless a specific reference source for certain inforniation has been cited, data and information were derived froni reviews of company specific material safety data sheets (MSDS). In these cases, which are numerous, the exact sources were not cited because several chemical suppliers’ MSDS were reviewed for any one chemical and the wont case and more serious notation for safety issues were compiled. Hence, the reader should view such information as being typical rather than rigorous, and should always consult with cheniical suppliers and manufacturers

of specific products. Additionally, although the author has made every reasonable attempt to verify the accuracy of information presented in the handbook by review of multiple open literature sources, neither he nor the publisher will guarantee complete accuracy of the information and data, and we do not recommend or endorse the application of this information for design purposes or emergency response procedures. The handbook provides guidance only, and liiuch of the data will require interpretation and prudent judgement on the part of a knowledgeable reader with training in chemistry, engineering, and hazardous materials handling operations, as well as detailed knowledge of federal and local regulations and company specific safety practices. The reader will also come across company specific information and data, particularly with regard to discussions on chemical protec tive clothing and certain field monitoring instrumentation described. References to these companies and their products are not intended to be an endorsement, but rather this information is included as illustrative and general only. Further, the exclusion of references to other company specific safety products should not be interpreted as a negative review. A final note is that the handbook does not address the subjects of labeling packages and containers of chemicals and hazardous materials, placarding of shipments, or performance oriented packaging requirements, or related safety transportation standards. This information can be found in great detail in the U.S.Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49. Transporters of hazardous materials may still find a great deal of useful information in this handbook. However; this volume is not aimed at assisting in the transportation issues for hazardous materials. The author wishes to acknowledge and thank the following organizations for advice and suggestions in organizing the materials in this volume: the United States Environmental Protection Agency - Region IV, the United States Agency for International Development, the Environmental Policy & Technology Project providing assistance to the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union, members of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the World Health Organization, and Marcel Dekker, Inc.

1 TERMINOLOGY AND HOW TO USE THE HANDBOOK We would be remiss not to note that the route of exposure is also hportant to the degree of risk and type of reaction that could occur, with the most common routes of exposure being inhalation, oral ingestion, absorption through the shin, and direct injection or puncturing through the epidemis.

1. INTRODUCTION

This handbook has been compiled to assist industry managers and safety professionals working with Or who have the responsibility for safety issues involving the handling of commercial chemicals. The handbook is not definitive, but is extensive in coverage, containing thousands of data entries pertinent of assisting the safety professional in formulating proper and safe handling practices that will protect workers and the public who may be potentially at risk from a hazard materials incident. The handbook is intended as a supplemental reference to other well known literature sources cited in the volume.

Chemicals are part of our every day lives, and indeed if we look to the United States as one example, the chemical industry has experienced the most dramatic and progressive growth of any one industry throughout the history of modem times. It is an industry that in only six decades, has produced more products having direct and indirect impacts on society than any other. This enormous expansion in manuhcturing and innovation has been driven by the needs and demands of technologically advanced societies, but also by a society which until recent years, has been consumer oriented without regard for the preservation of limited resources or the potential risk associated with mismanagement. Indeed, there are still many parts of the world, particularly those countries that are engaging in the transition to free economy systems and attempting to compete with well established chemical suppliers, that manage manufacturing operations without resource conservation and safety management practices. As a chemical engineer, with nearly twenty years of industry, applied research, and international business experience, the author has witnessed both dramatic differences in the way manufacturing operations are managed in many parts of the world, as well as enormous philosophical changes as this industry has matured in more technologically advanced countries and companies. Perhaps among the more dramatic philosophical changes are those derived from embracing the IS0 (International Standards Organization) standards dealing with environmental management systems, which incorporates safety management principles.

All chemicals are potentially hazardous. Even those materials which humans are exposed to on a daily basis, can pose a threat. A simple example is sodium chloride (table salt) which many people use daily to flavor their foods. Over the course of a life time, the body is exposed to large amounts of this chemical, but in small quantities at any one time. This degree of exposure usually does not lead to serious health problems. In contrast, if one were to consume an 8 ounce tumbler of sea water, which contains about 6 weight percent sodium chloride, the body would have a violent reaction, including vomiting, abdominal cramps, and possibly even death for some. This example helps to illustrate that the degree of health risk depends on several factors: the amount of chemical exposure and the time frame over which the exposure to the chemical occurs (known as the dosage), and the sensitivity of the receptor to the chemical exposure. Receptor sensitivity in turn depends on many variables, such as the person’s age, his or her general health, genetic and or hereditary parameters, prior historical exposure to other chemicals which may have additive or synergistic effects, and others. 1

Safety management and environmental management are best handled side by side because there are many overlapping concerns both from a regulatory viewpoint and the standpoints of worker productivity, and worker and general public safety. For these reasons, many companies today combine the talents of the so-called environmental manager and safety engineer under an Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) program. A major implementor in such a program is the health and safety officer, which more often than not these days is an industrial hygienist, or a combination of specialists which includes consultations and interactions with the industrial hygienist. In the United States, environmental regulations have dramatically altered the chemical industry and in fact , one can argue that it is environmental regulations that have been the principle driving force for safety management, training requirements, and the promulgation of IS0 standards among the workforce. RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act), CERCLA (ComprehensiveEnvironmental Reclamation, Cleanup and Liability Act), SARA (Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act), TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) have created the need for the so-called hazmat specialist; hazmat meaning hazard materials specialist or worker. The term perhaps first appeared in the early 1980's/late 1970's, among asbestos remediation workers, but became more popular throughout the 1980's through the early to mid 1990's, most often associated with those individuals having specialized training to work on hazardous waste remediation sites. But the term, hazmat, is really very broad and should not be associated exclusively with the handling of hazardous wastes. In this handbook, the hazmat specialist covers first responders, transporters of hazardous materials (in fact, anyone involved in the transportationprocess, not just the carrier), warehousing and storing operations, chemical suppliers and manufactures, laboratory personnel, and in fact any person, who by the nature of handling or dealing with chemicals, requires special knowledge of their properties from the standpoints of health risks, chemical reactivity/stability, and fire and explosion. The level of training and experience of the hazmat specialist is a function of the specific responsibilities and chemical handling requirements of the individual. Still, the term hazmat specialist carries special meaning under U.S. OSHA standards, and this designation is pointed out in the volume. In this handbook, three primary risk factors are concentrated on, namely: the health risks of chemicals, risks asso-

Chapter 1

ciated with chemical stability and handling, and risks associated with the fire and explosion characteristics of chemicals. Technical information is provided to assist safety managers and industrial hygienists in addressing the following areas: determining proper monitoring requirements for work areas - the objective being to quantify chemical contaminants in the work site in order to define health risks through personal exposure. Once health risks are assessed, safety managers can recommend proper engineering controls, or material substitutions that are less hazardous, or management practices to minimize worker risks, or personal protection; through the use of specific inforniation, data and guidelines, assist the safety manager in the selection, use and maintenance of personal protective equipment such as chemical protective clothing and respirators; through the use of well recognized safety practices and authoritative sources, assist first responders in formulating initial emergency response action plans that will isolate and contain spills or fires; using a compilation of fire and explosion, and chemical stability data derived from company specific material safety data sheets, NIOSH, OSHA, the CHRIS data base, the USDOT, IARC and others, provide an extensive data base that can be used as basis for safe handling and storing of chemicals in laboratories, warehousing operations, during transport, and during intermediate handling and usage applications.

This is not a management oriented reference, but rather a technical data and information handbook designed to be used by those individuals who already have management skills in safety and have extensive backgrounds in or rely on other members of their organization or group who are engineers, chemists, safety professionals, industrial hygienists, that are qualified and experienced in applying the information compiled in this reference volume. The handbook should be used in conjunction with other well recognized references and data base systems and there is no intent to compete or displace such works with this reference. As noted the Handbook of Industrial Toxicology and Hazardous Materials is intended as a guide to the safe handling of chemical compounds used throughout industry and by consumers. It is intended for use by those individuals who have either direct contact with or indirect contact through the management of chemicals or dangerous

materials. This includes laboratory personnel, plant and refinery engineers and technicians, safety managers, emergency response personnel, hazardous materials workers, firefighters, transporters of dangerous products and materials, the @-Scene Coordinator (OSC) of a hazardous materials incident, hazardous materials workers and others. The handbook provides an extensive compendium of information on the properties of chemical compounds, along with safe handling and emergency response information. Specifically, the user will find information dealing with personal exposure risks, protective clothing and respirator information for safe handling, chemical compatability and conditions of instability, isolation distances in the event of spills or fires, and first aid guidelines. Procedures for safe handling, pers~nalprotection, and personal sampling for industrial hygiene monitoring are also included in this handbook. The sources of information used in this handbook are largely based on a review of thousands of material safety data sheets provided by chemical manufacturers and suppliers, plus information gathered from well known and authoritative organizations (such as NIOSH, OSHA, USDOT, IARC, ACGIH). Although this handbook is extensive in its coverage, not all commercially available chemicals have been covered. Additionally, only certain aspects as related to the most significant safety issues associated with those chemicals that are covered are included in this volume. The reader may therefore need to consult other references from time to time. A list of key references is provided at the end of this chapter, but additionally one should always consult with the supplier and or manufacturer of a specific product, and closely review and follow his or her company safety policies and practices. The purpose of this first chapter is to orient the reader to the information provided in the handbook. There are eight chapters to the handbook with specific terms, acronyms and terminology pertinent to each section and the data contained therein. This chapter provides first an overview of the informational data base and discussions provided in each chapter, and second, it provides specific description of the terms pertinent to the eight reference chapters. The reader will find that some primary definitions are repeated in the chapters, however, in most cases, the reader will be referred either to this first chapter or the Glossary at the end of the handbook. II. GENERAL CONCEPTS, PHILOSOPHY, AND TERMINOLOGY OF INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE

Much of the following discussions are included to orient the reader to the safe handling practices and personal pro-

tection procedures described in Chapter 2. The traditional definition of industrial hygiene is the recognition, evaluation and control of chemical, physical and biological agents. In recent years, this definition has been expanded to include the anticipation of potential hazards. This anticipation phase is especially important to design and process engineers, as well as to occupational health professionals, since the control of hazardous agents is accomplished most efficiently and economically if incorporated into engineering plans from the inception of a project. In order to anticipate hazards and effectively design the necessary controls into a process, industrial hygienists and toxicologists must be consulted. These professionals inform the engineer of the potential hazards of chemicals used in the process, acceptable airborne concentrations which have been established for those chemicals, and environmental information and regulations which may affect the project. The health professionals should be included in the earliest phases of any project to avoid the costly process of redesigning and retrofitting engineering controls into a complete or partially complete process. Often, the engineer is called upon to design and implement changes in an existing process. Again, cooperation between the engineer and the appropriate health and safety professionals is critical to the success of the project. The industrial hygienist and toxicologist have been trained to recognize environmental and workplace hazards and stresses. Hazards may arise from over-exposures to chemicals, physical agents, such as noise and radiation, biological agents or ergonomic stresses. To understand the level of hazard in an existing process, the industrial hygienist must use monitoring techniques to evaluate the exposures associated with the materials handled in the process. The results of such monitoring are then compared to established standards and, if necessary, used to recommend and develop corrective measures. These measures may include engineering controls such as process substitution, isolation, enclosure or ventilation, substitution of hazardous materials with less hazardous substances, or administrative controls to reduce exposure time. Most industrial hygienists have received undergraduate training in biology, chemistry, engineering and other basic sciences. Usually, they have obtained graduate degrees in industrial hygiene or related fields and many have been certified in industrial hygiene practice by certification boards. Graduate training in industrial hygiene includes study in toxicology, industrial hygiene chemistry, environmental monitoring techniques, control methodology, epidemiology, statistical analysis, ventilation and radiation science.

Industrial hygiene departments of chemical and manufacturing companies often report through Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) or other similar organizations. These H W E groups often include Medical, Toxicology, Product Safety, Regulatory, Environmental and Safety departments. The industrial hygienist often works in conjunction with these professionals and the appropriate manufacturing and engineering personnel to recommend changes or controls for existing processes or for new ones being designed. In some companies, HS&E and Engineering may report through a single department or through manufacturing teams to create the opportunity to develop close working relationships during process design. A. OSHA Regulations

In 1970, the U .S. Congress enacted the Williams-Steiger Occupational Health and Safety Act, which became effective in April, 1971. At that time, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, commonly known as OSHA, was created. OSHA, which is organized under the Department of Labor, is responsible for carrying out the responsibilities assigned to the Secretary of Labor in the Act. Among other things, the Act gives the Secretary of Labor and OSHA the authority to promulgate health and safety standards, to enforce the standards and issue citations, to conduct training for inspectors, employers and employees and to approve state plans for programs under the Act. Another important provision of the OSH Act was the establishment of the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) within the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, now the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NIOSH is responsible for conducting research on Occupational Health and Safety and acts as the technical arm for OSHA. Among the responsibilitiesof NIOSH are the identification of health hazards and research on chemical hazards. As part of these research activities, NIOSH often conducts workplace studies involving exposure assessment and medical surveillance, which are made publicly available. The Agency also reviews and suwnarkes the toxicological and scientific literature for hazardous agents and recommends workplace exposure limits and standards. The results of these chemical reviews have been published in a series of NIOSH Criteria Documents. NIOSH is also responsible for training professionals in health and safety to ensure an adequate supply of personnel to implement the OSH Act. The main research facilities of the Institute are located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Chapter 1

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, employers are responsible for complying with all standards and regulations promulgated under the Act and for furnishing to all employees a workplace environment which is free from recognized hazards which cause or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm. This so-called "general duty clause", section 5(a)(l) of the Act, also requires employees to comply With OSHA standards and regulations which are applicable to them. The general duty obligations may often be the basis for implementing engineering or other controls which may not otherwise be specified or required under OSHA regulations. For example, ventilation controls may be required to control exposures to a solvent which is known to be potentially toxic but has no permissible airborne limit under OSHA regulations. In other cases, citations may be issued for ergonomics hazards even though OSHA has not promulgated specific regulations concerning the control of such hazards. OSHA develops health standards with technical assistance from NIOSH. Standards are based on research and other appropriate information available to the Agency. In addition to considering the most recent scientific data, OSHA must consider the health and safety of employees, experience with other health and safety laws, and the feasibility of standards that it promulgates.

Section 6 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act describes the process of establishing health and safety standards. Procedures for rulemaking under the Act include the publication of advanced notice of proposed rules and final rules. Throughout the process, public comments are solicited and considered in the development of the rules. The Secretary of Labor has the authority under Section 6@ of the Act to establish emergency temporary standards when there is evidence to support the need. Emergency temporary standards have been promulgated for carcinogens such as benzene and asbestos. Many of the current chemical standards were promulgated shortly after the enactment of the original Act in 1970. The initial health standards (29 CFR 1910.1000) were the airborne concentration limits which had been recommended in 1968 by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). The ACGIH is a group representing past or currently practicing governmental industrial hygienists. ACGIH publishes Threshold Limit Values@ (TLVs) for several hundred materials. TLVs are guidelines developed to assist in controlling health hazards. ACGIH points out that these limits represent conditions under which nearly all workers

5

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

can be exposed daily without experiencing adverse health effects; however, the group recognizes that individual susceptibilitiesvary and that some workers may experience adverse effects or discomfort below the threshold limits. ACGIH also stresses that these values should be used only by people trained in industrial hygiene. OSHA adopted the 1968 Threshold Limit Values as its original Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs). These limits, listed in 29 CFR 1910.1000, remained largely unchanged until 1989, when OSHA promulgated rulemaking updating them. At that time, all of the PELs were re-evaluated and a large percentage of them were updated to reflect current knowledge. As a result, the PELs were more consistent with the existing ACGIH Threshold Limit Values until they were overturned in a subsequent 1993 court decision. As a result of that decision, the PELs reverted to the pre-1989 levels. It is anticipated that OSHA will publish new limits through future rulemaking. In addition to the early PELs, OSHA published expanded standards for fourteen substances in 1974. Included were asbestos and several carcinogens, such as benzidine, betanaphthylamine and ethylenirnine. These standards define requirements for workplace monitoring, training, labeling, medical surveillance, respiratory protection, and recordkeeping. Expanded standards have since been published for several additional chemicals, including benzene, ethylene oxide and formaldehyde. The standard for asbestos has been updated to address the carcinogenicity of that compound. OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits and ACGIH Threshold Limit Values may be expressed in several ways. The most commonly used limit type is the eight-hour time weighted average (TWA), which is an expression of the average workplace concentration over a typical eight-hour workday. Additional limit types include ceiling limits, concentrations which must never be exceeded on an instantaneous basis, and short-term exposure limits (STELs), which are often expressed as 15 minute averages. A concept which was developed by OSHA is the action level, defined as one-half of the PEL. Many of the chemical specific standards incorporate the action level. Exceeding this level may invoke many of the monitoring, medical surveillance, training and other requirements of these standards. Many chemicals which are toxic by the dermal route or are highly absorbed through contact with skin are given an additional "skin notation". Skin contact with these materials must be minimized or prevented.

In addition to OSHA and ACGIH limits, several other agencies and groups recommend acceptable workplace exposure levels. NIOSH publishes Recommended Exposure Limits (RELs) and the American Industrial Hygiene Association publishes Workplace Environmental Exposure Limits (WEELs). Many companies use their handling expertise and their own toxicological studies to establish internal exposure guidelines for chemicals they market. These internal guidelines are commonly referred to as Occupational Exposure Limits or OELs. Often, industry associations jointly establish recommended exposure limits for chemicals which they have tested. These internal guidelines must be included on the Material Safety Data Sheets supplied by the companies recommending the limits. While OSHA PELs carry the force of law, health professionals often observe other exposure limits when evaluating workplace hazards, ACGIH reviews its published limits and updates a portion of them on a yearly basis. Before placing a new Threshold Limit Value on its final list, the limit is published on a separate list of intended changes for two years, allowing time for public comment. OSHA does not have a procedure for regularly updating its PELs. Because all changes must be made through the rulemaking process, the PELs are updated much less frequently. Expanded chemical specific standards are developed based on priorities established by the Agency and, often, several years are required to promulgate a single standard. OSHA regularly publishes the status of current and proposed rulemaking. B. The Terminology of Hazards Recognition

The evaluation of potential exposures from an operation or process begins with the collection of information on the raw materials, intermediates and final products present in the process. In the case of a process in the design phase, materials inventories may be supplied by the design engineer and other knowledgeable persons. Information concerning existing plants or processes should be supplied by manufacturing personnel. Often, chemists must be consulted to provide information concerning the potential formation of captive intermediates and unwanted byproducts that may be hazardous. After developing the chemical inventories, the industrial hygienist consults with toxicologists and other health professionals to develop toxicity profiles of the materials. Following is a brief summary of the toxicity categories that are defined by OSHA in its Hazard Communication Standard.

Chapter 1

Carcinogens - Carcinogens are agents which are capable of causing or initiating cancer in humans or animals. Animal carcinogenicity data exist for several hundred chemicals, including some metals, some chlorinated hydrocarbons, formaldehyde, dimethyl sulfate, ethylene oxide and common household products, such as saccharin. Because human data, obtained from epidemiological studies, is difficult to generate, relatively few chemicals or agents are recognized as human carcinogens. Examples of human carcinogens include vinyl chloride, bis(chloromethy1) ether, benzidine, its congeners and benzene. Ionizing radiation has long been recognized as causing cancer in animals and humans. Other materials are regarded as suspected human carcinogens, depending on the amount and quality of available data. Several groups publish lists of known or suspected animal and human carcinogens. These include the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is a working group of the World Health Organization, ACGIH, and the National Toxicology Program (NTP), a group represented by several U.S. governmental agencies. These groups often classify carcinogens according to the amount and adequacy of evidence available for them. Irritants - Substances that are irritating or corrosive to the skin or eyes are considered to be hazardous. Most strong acids or bases are corrosive and cause tissue damage on contact. Hydrochloric acid, ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, several amines and many other industrial chemicals are corrosive. Other chemicals, such as organic solvents and weak acids or bases, are irritating, but, do not cause tissue damage. Acute Toxins - Chemicals can also be categorized according to the degree of toxicity they exhibit in acute oral, dermal or inhalation studies. OSHA classifies materials as toxic or highly toxic based on doses or concentrations that cause lethality in animals, usually rats. The values used in expressing acute toxicity for this purpose are the LD, or LC,, values, which are statistically derived from animal studies. For example, aniline is considered toxic by the oral route, with an LD, in rats of 250 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight. Chlorine, with a one-hour inhalation LC, of 293 ppm in rats, is considered highly toxic. Many chemicals are toxic or highly toxic by dermal absorption and have been assigned TLVs or PELs with skin designations. These include aniline and several glycol ethers. Sensitizers - Sensitizers comprise another OSHA hazard class. These are chemicals which produce immunological

sensitization reactions in anhnals that have been administered initial and subsequent "challenge" doses to the skin. Several protocols are available for this kind of study, with the guinea pig being the most commonly used test species. Positive results indicate that the chemical is a potential human sensitizer. Examples include epoxy resins, isocyanates and many acrylates and amines. Many chemicals, such as toluene diisocyanate, may be dermal and pulmonary sensitizers.

I . Target Organ Efsects Finally, any chemical which has been shown to cause target organ effects in a "statistically significant" study is classified as hazardous. These target organ effects may result from acute or chronic over-exposures. Nephrotoxins are materials that cause kidney toxicity. Oxalic acid, a biotransformation product of ethylene glycol, may be precipitated as crystals in the kidney. If they are not eliminated, these crystals may lead to the formation of larger ones which obstruct the tubules of the kidneys and renal injury may result. Lead is a classical nephrotoxin, having been associated with acute and chronic renal failure at relatively high doses. Hepatotoxins are agents that are associated with liver toxicity. Many chlorinated and non-chlorinated organic solvents exhibit well documented hepatotoxicity . Lung toxins, such as fibrogenic (fibrosis-causing) dusts and the herbicide paraquat, are considered to be OSHA hazards. Of particular concern in more recent times, are chemicals which injure the central nervous system. Overexposure to many organic solvents, phosphorus compounds, pesticides, and other chemicals can result in central nervous system (CNS) effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches and drowsiness. Some solvents, such as n-hexane and methyl butyl ketone, also affect the extremities, causing peripheral neuropathies in the limbs. Often, these nervous system effects are irreversible. Other target organs include the hematopoietic (blood and blood-forming) system, the brain and the reproductive system. Obviously, many chemicals exert toxicity on many organ systems. 2. Evaluation

The industrial hygienist utilizes toxicological data and other health effects information to develop exposure assessment strategies. Qualitative toxicity and exposure ranking systems are used to prioritize the chemicals and agents found in a process or job task. An industrial hygiene sampling program can then be established to characterize potentially significant hazards associated with the process.

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

The actual hazard posed by a material depends upon several factors, including exposure, toxicity of the material, process controls and individual factors and susceptibilities. After the industrial hygienist or health and safety professional has identified potential chemical, biological, physical, or ergonomic stresses, monitoring must be conducted to determine the extent of exposure to those stresses. The following discussions will serve as an introduction to the chemical hazards, to which this handbook focuses on. In the evaluation phase, the industrial hygienist will utilize information concerning sampling volume and the mass of contaminant collected to determine its airborne concentration in mass per unit volume. Concentrations of particulates are most often expressed in units of milligrams of contaminant per cubic meter of air (mg/m3) and gases and vapors are generally reported in parts per million by volume (ppm). Because the concentrations of gases and vapors are often reported as mass of material collected per volume of air sampled, it may be necessary to convert between mg/m3 and ppm. This can be done using the following equation; C(rnglm3, ~ 2 2 . 4 X5 T( c(ppm)= Molecular Wt 298

O K )

760 P(mm Hg) (1)

where C is the concentration, T is temperature, P is pressure and 22.45 represents the volume of air, in liters, occupied by one gram-mole of an ideal gas at 298°K and one atmosphere (760 m m Hg) of pressure. The industrial hygienist can use information concerning the vapor pressure of a chemical to estimate the highest airborne concentration attainable for that material. This socalled saturated vapor concentration (SVC) is estimated using the following equation:

svc =

vapor pressure x 106 760

(2)

where vapor pressure is measured in mm of Hg and SVC is the saturated vapor concentration, in ppm, at one atmosphere and the temperature at which the vapor pressure was measured. This estimate is often useful in predicting "worst case scenarios. Inhalation of gases, vapors, aerosols and dusts is a primary route of exposure to industrial chemicals. Gases are materials with very low density and

viscosity which expand and contract readily with changes in pressure and temperature. Gases typically expand with uniformity to completely occupy any container. The behavior of gases can be predicted and explained using the various gas laws. Examples of gases often encountered in industrial settings include hydrogen chloride, hydrogen c yanide, ethylene oxide, chlorine, ammonia, formaldehyde and phosgene. Some of these gases, such as hydrogen chloride, ammonia and formaldehyde, may be handled as liquid solutions, in which the gas has been dissolved in a solvent such as water. Often, the resulting solution is a strongly imtating acid or base.

In addition to the irritation and dermal concerns generally associated with these types of liquid materials, they are likely to present inhalation hazards due to off-gassing. However, it is likely that the inhalation hazards associated with the liquid solutions are much less than those associated with the gases. A vapor is the gaseous form of a material which is a liquid at normal temperature and pressure. Examples of such materials include organic solvents such a benzene, toluene and naphtha, alcohols, isocyanates, some amines and many ketones, ethers and aldehydes. The maximum potential concentration of a vapor above its liquid source is dependent upon the vapor pressure of the liquid at a given temperature. Particulates are particles of liquid or solid matter. Dusts are solid organic or inorganic particulates which are formed by crushing, grinding, impaction or other physical activities. Aerosols are liquid or solid particles with diameters of less than 0.1 pm which will remain suspended in air. Fumes, which are often confused with vapors, are airborne particulates formed by the evaporation and subsequent condensation of solid materials such as metals during welding operations. Fumes typically have diameters of less than one micron. The industrial hygienist must understand the characteristics of each of these types of contaminants in order to effectively evaluate exposures with accuracy and precision. The engineer must also understand these characteristics to be able to design effective controls. Of special concern are factors which influence the collection of particulates. In selecting a method for the collection and analysis of particulates, the composition of the material, the size of its particles and its potential reactivity or volatility must be considered. The diameter of the particulate being collected, the size of the orifice through which it is being drawn and the physical obstructions around the sampling instrument can all have a significant impact on the accuracy and precision of the method.

Chapter 1

Before monitoring an operation, one must understand the process and characterize the physical state of the material throughout the operation. For example, methylene bisphenyl isocyanate (MBI), a chemical used in many polyurethane foaming operations, is often handled as a heated liquid and escaping vapors may condense to an aerosol. Prepolymers of MBI, which are liquids at room temperature, are often sprayed during processing, resulting in aerosol formation. These emissions must be collected using particulate sampling methods. However, MBI has a vapor pressure and is reactive; therefore, the sample must be chemically stabilized if it is collected on filter media. If it is not stabilized, collection efficiency will be low and unpredictable due to evaporation. To assure that proper collection techniques are used in monitoring airborne chemical contaminants, the industrial hygienist will attempt to use a well-validated published method whenever possible. Before a field survey is initiated, the industrial hygienist typically will conduct a project review or a walk-through survey of an existing site to become familiar with plant processes and job operations and to identify potential sources of exposures. The hygienist will also observe control methods, such as ventilation, isolation and employee administrative controls that may be in use. During this evaluation phase of the survey, the industrial hygienist should work with process engineers to obtain detailed information on the process flow, process equipment, machinery and other potential emission sources. After this initial review, a sampling strategy is developed which includes lists of materials to be sampled, validated sampling and analytical methodologies and protocols for obtaining representative samples. The samples which will be collected during the survey may be of several types. Depending on need, the health professional may decide to collect personal, area or grab samples. Personal and area samples may be collected over long or short periods of time using active or passive methods. Short-tern or instantaneous samples, often called grab samples, can be collected by instrumental methods, by the use of absorption techniques or in collectors of known volume. These collectors include flexible plastic bags and heavy-walled glass vacuum bottles that can be taken back to the laboratory for analysis. An advantage of grab samples is that the collection efficiency of this method is considered to be 100 percent; however, the method must not be used when sampling atmospheres With reactive gases. Highly reactive compounds may react with particulates, the sample collector, other components of the

sampled atmosphere or moisture in the air and will require special techniques. Persona 1 Sampling

Personal samples are those collected on individuals to estimate personal exposures. If the sampling strategy has been designed to collect representative samples for a job operation, these personal sampling results will yield the most reliable estimates of exposure. Personal samples may be obtained for chemical hazards and physical stresses, such as heat, noise and radiation. They are generally collected in what is called the breathing zone, which has recently been redefined as a hemisphere forward of the shoulders with a six to nine inch radius. In developing the monitoring program, the industrial hygienist must ensure that samples are random and representative in order to assess them statistically. Personal monitoring should also include samples to estimate ceiling and short-term exposures to ensure compliance with the respective exposure limits. Area Sampling

Area samples are collected to estimate exposures at different locations and areas throughout the workplace. If the workplace exposures are well characterized by location, it is possible to estimate the average worker's exposure by determining the person's movements and activities throughout the workplace. An advantage of area monitoring is that the industrial hygienist is able to understand the daily fluctuations in levels of airborne contaminants at each location and is able to develop an understanding of the contribution of each part of the process to workplace exposures. Area monitoring is particularly useful to the engineer since it can also be used to locate fugitive emissions so that engineering controls can be effectively designed and implemented. Because it is often not feasible to adequately characterize the workplace and workers' movements to develop reliable estimates of personal exposure, area monitoring is most often employed to Characterize the process and locate sources of exposure while personal monitoring is used to estimate employee exposure. Active and Passive Monitoring

The industrial hygienist may employ active or passive monitoring techniques for collecting personal or area samples. Active monitoring involves the use of pumps to collect grab samples or to pull samples through collecting

9

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

media, such as adsorbent tubes and filters. In contrast, passive monitoring employs diffusional collection devices which work on the principles of Fick's first law of diffusion. In passive collection, transport of the contaminant to a collecting surface occurs by diffusion along a concentration gradient. The sampling rate for a specific sampler is fixed and depends on the length of the diffusion path, the area of the sampler orifice and the dimion coefficient of the sampler. Temperature, pressure and air movement can have positive or negative effects on sampling rate and must be considered when using this method. Because of their simplicity and ease of use, passive monitors are often used when industrial hygiene resources are limited. Passive monitoring devices are available for a variety of contaminants, including organic vapors, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde and phosgene. These devices generally have limited use in identifying short-term exposures and sources of exposures. Whether using active or passive methods, the industrial hygienist must consider the accuracy, precision and level of validation of the method.

Active Monitoring Equipment

Flow Meters The air flow rate is critical in determining the volume of sample which has been collected and in determining the contaminant's airborne concentration in mass per unit volume. In order to assure operation at constant flow rates, pumps employ the use of flow rate meters such as critical orifices, stroke counters and rotameters. The rotameter, which is typically incorporated into high-flow pumps collecting at rates of more than 1 liter per minute, consists of a float which moves up and down a vertical tapered tube. Air passing through the tube causes the ball to move upward until the ball's weight and the force exerted by the air movement have reached equilibrium. The rotameter must be calibrated to a primary source prior to its use in the field. Some pumps employ critical orifices to assure constant flow rates. The critical orifice consists of a sharp, narrow constriction, such as a precision drilled hole, through which the air stream is directed. Under certain conditions, the critical orifice assures a nearly constant flow rate. Some pumps utilize piston or diaphragm stroke counters to record the number of strokes which can be related to air volume when calibrated with a bubble meter or other flow meter.

Active ,mnpling methods for particulates, gases and vapors involve the use of a sampling train, which includes a collecting medium, a flow meter and a vacuum pump. In the case of particulates, a pre-selector is often used upstream of the collector in order to select for particles of various diameters. The order in which air is pulled through the sampling train is as follows: 1) pre-selector, when used, 2) collecting medium, 3) flow meter, and 4) pumps.

Flow meters on field sampling instruments are calibrated using one of several methods. Primary standards are those which measure volume directly and are, therefore, preferred. Primary air flow standards include bubble meters, spirometers and Mariotti bottles. The time required to draw a measured volume of air through these systems is measured and the resulting flow rate is calculated. These methods are typically accurate to within one percent.

The pump is a critical part of the sampling train. Typically, industrial hygiene pumps are small, portable, battery operated units with flow rates ranging from 0.1 liter per minute (lpm) to more than 5 Ipm. Several factors are considered in selecting the most appropriate pump for a situation. Higher sampling rates are generally used when sampling for particulates and for short-term monitoring of some gases and vapors. Lower flow rates are usually required when collecting samples of organic vapors and gases in order to maintain collection efficiency and avoid overloading the collection medium. Low-flow pumps are generally used to monitor for organic vapors, which are typically collected at a rate between 50 and 200 ml per minute. An important factor when selecting battery powered pumps is the environment in which it will be used. Only pumps which are intrinsically safe and have been approved for such use can be used in atmospheres that may contain explosive or flammable vapors or gases.

Where primary methods cannot be used, the industrial hygienist often uses secondary calibration methods, which include rotameters, critical orifices, dry-gas meters and wettest meters. These standards must be periodically calibrated against primary standards. The rotameter is typically accurate to within 5 percent. The critical orifice, which maintains a constant flow-rate through a small opening when the downstream absolute pressure is less than 53 percent of the upstream absolute pressure, has a similar accuracy. The dry gas meter, which consists of a counter mechanism and two chambers being alternately filled and emptied, can be highly accurate. The wet test meter is a partitioned drum which is half submerged in a liquid, typically water. As air enters a partition, it causes it to raise and develop a rotation motion. A counter records the number of revolutions. While this standard has a high degree of accuracy, it may be influenced by corrosion, leaks and the absorption of gas into the liquid.

Chapter 1

Other secondary standards, including the venturi meter, orifice meter and manometer have less accuracy than those previously discussed and therefore, are not often used by industrial hygienists for pump calibration.

Collection Media A key consideration when monitoring for gases, vapors

and particulates is the collecting medium. Among the more common air sampling media are glass or metal sorbent tubes containing adsorbents such as charcoal, silica gel and alumina gel, impingers with absorptive or chemical reaction reagents and tillers which mechanically or chemically collect contaminants. Many of the early collection methods employed the use of impingers, which are glass containers through which the contaminated airstream is bubbled. The airstream enters the impingers in the form of small bubbles, making the contaminant of concern more available to react with the collecting reagent to form a non-volatile product. Examples of this process include neutralization of acid gases such as HCl using caustic scrubbing solutions. Other contaminants may be collected in specialized solutions. For example, isocyanates, including toluene diisocyanate (TDI), are collected by the modified Marcali method, which utilizes a solution of hydrochloric and acetic acids. In solution, the isocyanate is hydrolyzed to the corresponding amine, which is then diazotized and coupled with a substituted ethylenediamine to form a colored complex which can be analyzed spectrophotometrically . The more recent method of sampling for isocyanates involves the collection of vapors and particulates on glass fiber filters impregnated with 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine and subsequent analysis using high performance liquid chromatography. Another chemical for which impinger methods have been traditionally used is formaldehyde. This method, used for aldehydes, involves the use of chromotropic acid in concentrated sulfuric acid to collect formaldehyde in an impinger. After heating to ensure complete reaction, spectrophotometry is used to determine the amount of formaldehyde collected. A more recent method employs the use of coated XAD-2 adsorbent lubes, toluene desorption and gas chromatography to determine formaldehyde concentrations in air. Particulates and aerosols are most often collected on filter media which are inserted into a plastic support cartridge. Several types of filter materials are available, including Teflon, PVC and mixed cellulose ester, all of which are porous materials. Others include glass, plastic, cellulose,

which are fibrous filters. Collection of particles on the filters occurs by several mechanisms; however, the primary mechanisms are impaction and direct interception. As with the collection of gases and vapors on adsorbents, the choice of filters is based on several factors. Glass fiber filters, for example, are not hygroscopic, are temperature resistant, and have high capacity. Metals are typically collected on mixed cellulose ester fiber filters, which can be dissolved h acid solution prior to atomic absorption analysis. Before selecting a filter type, the industrial hygienist will refer to a method validated for the contaminant of concern. Preselectors may be used at the beginning of the sampling train to select for particulates of specific sizes or to separate particles by size. Often, cyclones are incorporated into the sampling train to collect the respirable particulate fractions. These instruments select for particles less than 10 microns in diameter which can penetrate into the lungs. Cyclones operate by the circular movement of air which has been drawn through an orifice; unwanted heavier particles are thrown from the center of the airstream and drop out while lighter particles of the desired size are retained in the airstream and are collected on the filter medium. Adsorbent tube sampling methods have been developed for hundreds of organic vapors. The type of sorbent tube to be used depends upon the physical and chemical characteristics of the material being collected. Generally, activated charcoal and polymers, such as Tenax, are used to adsorb organic vapors while silica gel is used to collect polar and high boiling materials. The contaminant adsorbs onto the Sufface of the medium through surface forces until it is desorbed for analysis. Because silica gel is polar, it is much more sensitive to the effects of high relative humidity than charcoal and other non-polar media. Many vapors, including those of n-hexane, 2-hexanone, isoamyl acetate, benzene, and toluene are collected on charcoal tubes and desorbed with carbon disulfide. The resulting solution is then analyzed using gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. Several other chemicals, including 2-methoxyethanol and other glycol ethers, are collected on charcoal and desorbed with specialized solvents, such as carbon disulfide and methanol. Still other gases and vapors are collected using special adsorbants. For example, ethylene oxide, a highly reactive gas, is collected on a hydrobromic acid coated charcoal tube to produce 2-bromoethanol. The reaction product is then desorbed with N,N-dimethylformaniide, derivatized to a heptafluorobutyrate ester and analyzed by gas chromatography using an electron capture detector.

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

After a material has been collected on a granular adsorbent, or a filter or in an impinger solution, the medium must be analyzed to determine the amount collected. This information, in conjunction with the known sampling volume, is then used to determine the airborne concentration in mass per unit volume. Preparation of the sample for analysis may involve desorption of organics from granular adsorbents in various solvents, reactions of contaminants absorbed in liquid solvents, digestion of filters for metal analysis or various other procedures. After the sample has been appropriately prepared, analysis is accomplished using various methods, including atomic absorption spectroscopy, spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, ion chromatography and microscopy. NIOSH and OSHA have published validated methods for hundreds of workplace contaminants (refer to the references on the end of this chapter for specific references). Many instruments exist for directly monitoring for contaminants. These include colorimetric indicator tubes (often referred to as detector tubes) infrared and ultraviolet spectrophotometers, flame ionization detectors, electrochemical cells, portable gas chromatographs and chemiluminescence detectors. Direct reading methods for detecting aerosols are also available; they include light scattering photometers, piezoelectric balances and beta radiation attenuation detectors. The advantages of these direct-reading instruments are that they give instantaneous concentrations and are sufficiently accurate to be useful in locating fugitive emissions. Combustibility and Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) meters employing catalytic combustion detectors are available for monitoring for the presence of explosive atmospheres. Many currently available instruments employ some of the methods described above to continuously monitor for workplace contaminants. Gas chromatographic and infrared systems are common. Continuous monitoring systems are capable of monitoring at several points and sounding alarms when unacceptable concentrations are detected. These monitors should be located close to anticipated emission sources and in areas where the highest potential airborne concentrations are expected. It must be remembered that the range, selectivity and sensitivity of each instrument must be considered and that maintenance is critical to their operation. Biological Monitoring The best measure of an individual's exposure to a chemical is derived from biological monitoring. This type of

monitoring involves the analysis of body fluids, tissues or exhaled breath for contaminants or metabolic products of the contaminants. Biological monitoring is particularly useful for estimating exposure to chemicals that are easily absorbed through intact skin or have low vapor pressures and consequently, lower potential for inhalation. In such cases, simple airborne monitoring provides no information about whether an individual has been exposed by the dermal route or how the contaminant has been absorbed. Biological monitoring can assist the industrial hygienist and engineer in recommending personal protective equipment or other control measures which may be appropriate for an operation. Unfortunately, there are few validated biological monitoring methods for industrial chemicals. Many of those that are available have been published by ACGIH as Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs). Among the chemicals for which biological monitoring methods are available are N ,N-dimethylformamide (monomethylformamide in urine), alcohols (breath), lead (blood), dichlorobenzidine (DCBin urine), aniline (p- aminophenol in urine) and several metals (urine and body tissues). In order for biological monitoring methods to be valid and meaningful, a large database must exist on the pharmacokinetics, metabolism and chemistry of the material. Extensive data from human monitoring are also essential in interpreting the results of biomonitoring . These monitoring programs are generally administered by site or corporate medical departments with assistance from the industrial hygiene department.

3. Industrial Hygiene Data Industrial hygiene data must be maintained for many years and stored in an accessible way. There are several reasons for this. First, in order to conduct epidemiological studies, good estimates of worker exposures are essential. Industrial hygienists often work with epidemiologists many years after data have been collected to develop exposure histories for epidemiological studies. To do so, it is important that data are stored in such a way that they can be searched by chemical, job classification, process, plant, employee identification and date. Another important reason for storing industrial hygiene data is to satisfy constantly expanding regulatory requirements. Most large companies have purchased or developed sophisticated computer systems to store and access this data in order to be able to generate reports for use in epidemiological studies. In some of these systems, interfaces exist between medical, personnel and industrial hygiene data, assisting medical departments in performing

Chapter 1

epidemiological studies and administering screening programs. Other systems incorporate other types of health and environmental information, including toxicological, safety, and regulatory data. Industrial process designers and production engineers must become familiar with the databases that are available and the information they provide. C. Control Methods and Industrial Ventilation

1. Control Methodr

After a source of contamination has been identified in a process, several methods of control are available to the industrial hygienist and engineer. Because of the costs associated with retrofitting, it is preferable to implement controls in the design phase of a project. The physical properties, acceptable exposure limits, toxicological properties and other health and safety issues related to the process materials must be considered early in planning. In some cases it will be necessary to implement controls in existing plants and retrofit processes. Since many of these methods involve engineering controls, the industrial engineer is crucial to this phase of industrial hygiene. The task of controlling potential exposures must be shared by the industrial hygienist, plant management, line supervisors, engineers and employees. Control methods include material and process substitution, process isolation, wet controls, housekeeping and maintenance , personal hygiene, administrative controls, personal protective equipment and ventilation, Because most exposures occur as a result of the process design or failures in the process equipment, it is critical for the engineer to be involved in the design of the project and the programs for maintenance. It is unusual for engineers to receive adequate training in the evaluation and control of hazards during their formal education. Professional training courses and workshops dealing with subjects such as noise control, industrial ventilation and other related topics are valuable in providing engineers with the information necessary to design controls for potentially hazardous materials. Material Substitution

The first control method which should be considered is material substitution. This method involves the substitution of one material in a process with one that is less hazardous. In some cases, this decision may be based on toxicological information available for the materials. In other cases, a material may be selected as a replacement because its physical properties make it less hazardous.

Chemicals with high flash points are often used to replace flammable or combustible materials. Many of the chlorinated solvents have been chosen in the past because of their favorable flammability characteristics. Vapor pressure is another important physical property to be considered when selecting potential process chemical substitutions. As discussed previously, vapor pressure is a critical factor in determining potential airborne exposure to a chemical. Chemicals with lower vapor pressures exhibit lower saturated vapor concentrations (SVCs). These materials generally present lower exposure hazards and are typically easier to handle and control. For example, N-methylpyrrolidone, with a vapor pressure of 1 mm Hg at 20°C, has a theoretical SVC of about 1,315 ppm at that temperature. Methanol, on the other hand, with a vapor pressure of 92 mm Hg at 20°C, has a saturated vapor concentration of more than 12,000 ppm. The physical properties, such as vapor pressure, and the toxicity of each material must be considered before using substitution as a method of reducing potential hazard. Substitution has been used extensively to replace many organic and inorganic chemicals which present safety or toxicological hazards. For example, lead or chromium based paint pigments have been largely replaced over the last several years by less toxic metals and organic pigments. Some of the more toxic chlorinated solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride, have been replaced with less toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons and some non-chlorinated solvents. The traditional solvent-home paints are now being largely replaced with "water-borne paints, which generally contain lower amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Another example of the use of less toxic materials is the substitutionof glycol ethers, which are used extensively in industry as solvents in the manufacture of lacquers, resins, varnishes, dyestuffs, printing inks and stripping compounds. They are also present in some consumer products, including latex paints. Ethylene glycol ethers, such as 2-ethoxyethanol, are now being replaced with the corresponding propylene glycol etliers in processes and products. This shift to the propylene glycol ethers is due primarily to the fact that the ethylene glycol ethers have been reported to cause birth defects and male and female reproductive effects in several animal species. The propylene glycol ethers, on the other hand, appear to be less toxic and do not have the same potential for adverse reproductive effects. "

A common mistake when substituting materials is to replace a chemical of known toxicity With one which has not be-

en adequately or completely evaluated for toxicity, under the assumption that lack of information implies that a chemical is safe. The identification of less hazardous substitutes will depend on having adequate and current data and to-

13

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

xicological information. In some cases, a less hazardous, effective substitute may not be available or feasible to use and the hygienist and engineer must consider alternative controls.

Process Substitution Another method for controlling the occupational environment is process substitution, in which a process is modified to make it less hazardous or is replaced by another, less hazardous process. For example, a spraying operation might be substituted with a less hazardous dipping process. The application of industrial coatings or paints in dip tanks can minimize or eliminate the creation of mists and aerosols. Local ventilation may then be used to control vapors emitted from the operation. Another advantage of substituting with less hazardous processes, such as dip tanks, is that personal protective equipment is often no longer necessary. As is the case with many other control methods, process substitution is most efficient if considered during the design phase of the process or plant.

Process Enclosure and Isolation One of the most effective exposure control strategies is to isolate the process from the control areas where employees are located during normal operations. While more difficult and costly to implement in existing processes, this can be among the most effective of control strategies for new plants. Most modem chemical plant processes are controlled from enclosed or distant control areas. Remote processing often offers production and efficiency advantages and serves to isolate the potential process emissions from the workforce. Other examples of process isolation include the well-recognized isolation techniques used in the handling of radioactive materials and the use of acoustical sound barriers to enclose or isolate noisy operations.

Wet Controls One of the oldest and most effective methods for controlling exposures to dusts is the practice of wetting or spraying the operation or dusty area to be cleaned. Such wet methods are common at dusty construction sites, in sand casting operations and at quarrying operations. Sweeping operations in plants can be performed more cleanly and with less dust generation by wetting the area before sweeping. This can also make it easier to collect and prepare the material for proper disposal.

Housekeeping and Maintenance Good housekeeping practices are a critical element to any program for controlling potentially hazardous materials.

All work areas must be kept clean of process chemicals, solvents and dusts. Sweeping is sometimes done when the dusty material being collected is of low toxicity: however, vacuum cleaners with high efficiency particulate filters are employed when cleaning areas contaminated with toxic materials such as asbestos, lead, and cadmium. Leaks or spills should be stopped and remediated immediately. Engineers should be involved in assuring that equipment is well maintained and that processes are periodically shut down to facilitate the maintenance activities. Comprehensive, written maintenance programs should be developed for all processes, with substantial input from engineering and maintenance groups. Careful attention must be paid to providing the appropriate personal protective equipment and training necessary for employees to remediate spills and emergencies safely. OSHA has published regulations governing the remediation of hazardous waste operations and emergencies in 29 CFR 1910.120, also h o w n as the HAZWOPER standard.

Persona1 Hygiene Personal hygiene is also essential in effectively controlling employee exposures to hazardous materials.. Eating, drinking and smoking should be discouraged in all work areas and workers should be instructed to wash or shower before eating or leaving the workplace at the end of the day. Appropriate eyewash and emergency shower facilities must be provided throughout the workplace, especially in areas where corrosive or irritating materials are handled. Many of the OSHA expanded standards, such as those for benzene and acrylonitrile, contain extensive hygiene requirements, including the establishment of regulated areas and cleaddirty shower facilities. Persons working in areas where hazardous materials are handled should wear clean clothing daily, leaving the dirty clothing at the place of employment. This will prevent workers from carrying potentially hazardous materials home and exposing family members. In some cases, it may be necessary to discard contaminated leather articles to prevent dermal contact. Often, the employer supplies clean clothing and has it laundered by professional laundering services.

Administrative Controls

In some cases, administrative controls may be effective in reducing employee exposures to hazards. Reducing the length of work periods, for example, is an accepted way of decreasing the cumulative exposures of an individual to such agents as noise, heat and chemicals. It should be kept

Chapter 1

14

in mind that reducing the length of time for each worker's rotation may increase the total number of persons potentially exposed to a process. In addition, limiting the amount of time that persons are exposed to workplace contaminants does nothing to reduce emissions and remove potential sources of exposure in the process. Administrative methods are often used to control exposures to noise. For example, under the OSHA noise standard, one can be exposed to 90 dBA for eight hours, 95 dBA for four hours, I00 dBA for two hours, etc. If monitoring has indicated that an area has noise levels for which eight-hour exposures are unacceptable, the employer may choose to limit employee access to the area to an acceptable exposure period. Personal Protective Equipment If other means of controls prove to be impossible or infeasible, the use of pers~nalprotective equipment by employees may become necessary. Such control methods, however, do not reduce or eliminate the source of the potential hazard and are the least preferred choice for controlling exposure. Personal protective equipment includes airpurifpng and air-supplying respirators, hearing protection to reduce noise exposures, eye and face protection and gloves, boots and other impervious clothing.

2. Ventilation Methodr Industrial Ventilation

Industrial ventilation is the removal and replacement of air to maintain concentrations of potentially hazardous contaminants to levels which ensure a healthy workplace. Although the main purpose of ventilation is the control of hazardous gases, vapors and particulates, it is also used to replenish oxygen, control odors, control flammable and combustible materials and to heat, cool and control humidity. The industrial hygienist must work with the engineer to design the appropriate ventilation system for each operation within a process. Ventilation systems often are not given sufficient attention in the design phase because they are not part of the production process; however, failure to design effective systems may incur additional work and cost later. The following discussion will highlight the basic principles of controlling hazardous contaminants using natural and mechanical ventilation; however, the engineer and industrial hygienist should consult the many available references on this subject from such groups as ACGIH and the American Society for Heating, Refrigerating and AirConditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) (key references are cited at the end of this chapter).

Natura 1 Ventilation

Ventilation systems may be of two types, natural or mechanical, both of which may be used within the same process. Natural ventilation systems are those that do not utilize mechanical equipment, such as fans, to move air. Such a system depends upon convective temperature currents within buildings and air movements across the exteriors of buildings, causing differential pressures to remove contaminants. Natural ventilation is generally more effective in older buildings, which are not as tightly constructed as newer buildings and have windows that can be opened. Older buildings can be opened to allow outside air movement and air convections from rising warm air inside to move air through the building. Natural ventilation is often not feasible due to the fact that outside air movement is variable and cannot always be predicted. Although hot processes are possible candidates for the use of this type of ventilation, they are less effective than mechanical systems in controlling air movement and directing the contaminated air away from employees running the operation. In addition, it is not possible to collect and prevent the release of contaminants to the environment when using natural ventilation. Unlike natural ventilation, mechanical systems employ fans to control the movement of air from processes. Mechanical

ventilation may utilize local exhaust to trap and remove contaminated air at its source, or it may utilize fans to dilute the general room atmosphere with fiesh make-up air. General Mechanical Ventilation It is sometimes impractical to attempt to control large operations with local exhaust systems. In such cases, fans may be used to provide general dilution ventilation for the process. Although the system may be effective in controlling the movement of air throughout a room, perfect mixing of air seldom occurs and high concentrations of contaminantsmay exist in localized areas. Because of this, the systems must be well understood and the process must be closely monitored for high concentrations. Dilution ventilation is sometimes employed in processes where large amounts of solvents are evaporated, such as solvent cleaning operation and painting and dipping processes. In these cases, the average solvent evaporation rate can often be predicted using information concerning the solvent's physical properties and its use volume. The cubic feet per minute ( c h ) of dilution ventilation required to control the airborne levels of solvents to acceptable levels can be estimated using the following:

15

(3)

where Q is the dilution ventilation in cfm, SG is the specific gravity of the solvent, K is a safety factor, MW is the molecular weight of the solvent and IZV is the threshold limit value or other desired concentration in parts per million. The ACGIH has published dilution air volumes for vapors of many commonly used solvents. It should be cautioned that a safety factor must be used when making these estimates in order to ensure that workplace concentrations are below acceptable exposure levels. Often, one half of the PEL or TLV, or a safety factor of 2, is used; however, this varies depending on the physical characteristics of the room, the location of people around the process and the toxicity of the chemicals being processed. When diluting more than one contaminant the required dilution volume requirements should be considered additive if the effects of all materials are similar or are. When the effects of the materials of all potential contaminants are different, the lowest PEL or TLV should be used to determine dilution requirements. Dilution ventilation may be used to control airborne levels of flammable materials by controlling to the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) rather than the acceptable exposure level. In such cases, the LEL for the most flammable material in the process should be used to estimate the necessary ventilation volume. Again, care must be taken to ensure that high localized concentrations of contaminants do not exist. Fan location is critical to achieving efficient general ventilation. Fans should always be located so that contaminated air is pulled away from the breathing zone of workers. Contaminants must never be drawn through the breathing zone. Likewise, fresh air inlets are best situated so that the clean air is drawn through the worker's breathing zone to the contaminated area and the air exhaust outlet. A concept that is sometimes utilized is that of "air changes per hour." Some guidelines and building codes employ this method to provide guidance on the amount of ventilation necessary to control exposures from certain operations. While this concept has the advantage of being simple and reduces the amount of engineering required to design a system, it is inappropriate for use in controlling hazardous materials. Because complete mixing and air displacement seldom occur, the number of calculated air changes does

not accurately reflect the true number of exchanges. The industrial hygienist and engineer must recognize that the design criteria for ventilation systems should be a function of the process and problems associated with it, not a function of the room size. However, air changes per hour may be used as a basis for ventilating some operations where toxic materials are not handled. Replacement air must always be considered when designing a ventilation system. Air being exhausted from a building or process area must be replaced. This replacement may come from openings in the building or room, especially in old buildings, or it may be delivered to the building by design. The ACGIH publication Industrial Ventilation - A Manual of Recommeiided Practice (see reference section of this chapter) provides guidance in providing make-up air so as to assure the efficient operation of the ventilation system and to assure better control of air movement. Although it is not effective in removing potentially toxic contaminants, general ventilation is often acceptable in providing comfort ventilation to control humidity, temperature, odors and carbon dioxide build-up and to remove dusts and biological agents from the air supply. Local Exhaust Ventilation A second way of providing mechanical ventilation to

control potentially hazardous materials is to design a local exhaust system which remove contaminants from the workplace at the point where they are emitted. Such a system can then move the contaminated air to a single exhaust point, where it can be treated to remove contaminants prior to sending the air to the environment. Local exhaust systems are often preferred because they provide better control of toxic contaminants and because they often handle much ,maller volumes of air. As a result of handling smaller air volumes, smaller fans and air cleaners are required and less heatkold loss occurs. Local exhaust prevents the movement of contaminants from their sources to other work areas. Local exhaust should be considered for operations or processes involving toxic materials, variable emission rates, widely dispersed emission sources and flammable substances. In addition, such systems are necessary if general ventilation is ine ffective in removing contaminants from the breathing zones of workers or if high localized concentrations exist. Measurements for velocity, pressure and flow rate are employed in evaluating the effectiveness of ventilation systems. Static pressure, which results from the random

Chapter 1

16

movement of molecules, is expressed as a measure compared to atmospheric pressure. Velocity pressure is the presswe exerted by airflow; it acts only in the direction of the flow of air. The total pressure of the system is the sum of the static and velocity pressures. Total pressure and static pressure in local exhaust systems are measured using U-tube manometers. The velocity pressure is measured with a pitot tube, which consists of two concentric tubes measuring total pressure and static pressure. The two tubes are connected in such a way that the static pressure is nullified, giving a reading for the velocity pressure. Specific procedures have been published for performing pitot traverses of ductwork in ventilation systems (refer to Cheremisinoff, N.P., Pumps, Pipes and Channels, Ann Arbor Science, A m Arbor, MI, 1980). At 70°F and 29.92 inches of mercury (one atmosphere), velocity pressure can be related to air velocity using the equation:

v

=

4005 ( V P y 2

(4)

where v is the air velocity in feet per minute and VP is velocity pressure in inches of mercury. The air velocity and cross sectional area of flow can then be used to calculate the tlow rate in the system using:

Q

=

VA

where Q is the tlow rate in cubic feet per minute (cfm), v is the velocity in feet per minute and A is the area in square feet. These measurements of pressures and flow rates are used by engineers and industrial hygienists in designing and balancing systems for specific operations. Each system must be designed to collect and carry specific contaminants. The collection and movement of large particles, for example, will require the use of greater flow rates and velocities than will be needed for gases and vapors. The industrial hygienist must work with the industrial engineer in designing efficient, effective local exhaust systems.

Comporierits of Local Exhaust Ventilatiori Systems There are five components in a local exhaust ventilation system. These are the hood, the point at which the conta-

minant is collected; ductwork, the pathway through which the air is moved to a single point; air-cleaning equipment, which is designed to remove certain contaminants, such as dusts and organic vapors; the fan, which creates airflow through the system; and the stack, through which the cleaned air is discharged to the environment. a. Hoods The hood is the point of entry for contaminants into the local exhaust system. Obviously, the contaminant must be collected efficiently at this point for the system to be effective. Three types of hoods are used in these systems: capture hoods, enclosing hoods and receiving hoods. Capture Hoods - Capture hoods are located near the source of emission to draw air and contaminants from the process into the ventilation system. This is accomplished through suction created by the low pressure area formed at the opening of the hood by air movement from the fan. Capture hoods may be designed to be simple duct openings, flanged openings, tapered inlets, bell month inlets or slot openings. In each case, the air velocity through the opening can be predicted from the opening area and the flow rate. The placement of a flange around a duct opening increases its collection efficiency by reducing turbulence at the opening. This will decrease entry loss and may increase airflow into the system by as much as 40 % , depending on the size of the flange. Entry loss, expressed as a percentage of velocity pressure, and the coefficient of entry, a ratio of actual flow rate into the hood to the flow rate if no entry losses occurred, can be predicted for each type of hood. For example, ACGIH has reported an entry loss of 0.93 VP and a coefficient of entry of 0.72 for plain opening ducts, and an entry loss of only 0.49 VP and coefficient of entry of 0.98 for the more efficient bell mouth inlet. The previously described ACGIH publication should be consulted for additional information concerning other types of hoods. Examples of processes for which capture hoods may be effective include drumming operations, welding operations, processes in which solvents are mixed or charged, and open plating tank processes. In designing a system, the toxicity of materials, worker's breathing zone, temperature of the process and other factors must be considered in determining the correct hood type and placement. In general, however, the hood should be located as close to the operation as possible and should draw air away from the breathing zone of employees.

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

Enclosure Hoods - Enclosure hoods are especially effective because they are designed to completely contain the process and, therefore, the contaminant. Examples of processes for which enclosure hoods are commonly used include operations involving drumming and bagging, powder charging and grinding wheels and tools. Sealed glove boxes are often used in handling radioactive substances, toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Complete enclosures generally provide the greatest control of airborne contaminantsand should be considered whenever feasible. Hoods used for grinding wheels and polishing equipment must provide sufficient exhaust ventilation to remove dusts and particulates and must supply the structural strength necessary to contain the wheel and protect the worker from potential wheel breakage. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and ACGIH publications provide guidance concerning the design and flow requirements for grinding operations. A special type of enclosing hood is the booth, an enclosure

with an opening on one side for access. Operations are conducted inside a booth which has sufficient exhaust air drawn through the opening to prevent contaminants from escaping through the open side. These booths are designed so that contaminants are drawn away from the breathing zone of the worker. Paint spray operations, biological agent handling and laboratory chemical handling are commonly carried out in booth-type hoods. While booth hoods reduce the need for exhaust air, they require more than complete enclosures because one side is open. Receiving Hoods - The receiving hood, often referred to as the canopy hood, is located in such a way that the natural movement of air from the process flows toward its opening. This is a commonly used ventilation method employed above hot processes, such as solvent cleaning tanks. Certain dust collection systems also utilize this design. For example, dusts from many grinding machines and radial saws are controlled using receiving hoods. Many operations involve the use of solvent tanks for surface treatment, metal cleaning, degreasing, stripping and acid treatment. Canopy receiving hoods are sometimes utilized to collect contaminants from some of these operations: however, they are most efictive when used for hot processes. The engineer must consider air movement and currents which may allow the release of the contaminant into the workplace when designing such a system. In addition, some processes may involve the movement of workers' heads over the tank or the lifting of

parts from the tank.In these cases, receiving hoods are not appropriate. The engineer should consult with the industrial hygienist and ventilation publications before incorporating this type of hood into a process. b. Ducts After process air and contaminants have been collected by the hood, ducts are utilized to carry the contaminated air to the air cleaner or to the outside environment. As air moves through the ducts, energy is lost in overcoming friction between the air (and entrained particles) and duct walls. The velocity of the air in the duct must be sufficiently high to transport the contaminants of concern. For example, vapors, gases and smoke typically require minimum duct velocities of 1,OOO to 2,000 feet per minute (fpm) while dusts and powders require velocities ranging from 2,500 to more than 4,500 fpm, depending on particle size. ACGIH has published information concerning transport velocities for specific operations. While ducts may be made of several materials, including concrete, fiberglass and flexible materials, most are made of circular galvanized steel. The choice of materials will be based on several factors, including cost, corrosion characteristics, performance, strength and the characteristics of the airstream. Just as pressure losses occur at the entrances to hoods, friction losses occur in the ductwork of local exhaust ventilation systems. This friction loss is described by the following equation:

Friction Loss

=

fiv D

(6)

where f is the friction coefficient, L is the length of the duct, v is the velocity in the duct and D is the diameter. As indicated by the above equation, friction in a duct is directly related to the length of the duct and the square of the air velocity. It is inversely related to the diameter. In addition, rough surfaces inside the ductwork tend to increase friction loss in the system. Charts are available which provide estimates of friction loss based on velocity, duct diameter and flow rates. Friction losses also occur due to turbulence caused by branch entries, elbows and contractions and expansions in duct diameter. For example, when the diameter of a duct is contracted, the static pressure in the larger diameter duct

18

is converted to velocity pressure in the small duct. During the conversion from static pressure to velocity pressure, energy is lost, since the conversion is less than 100 percent. To minimize losses, tapered conversions are designed into the system to reduce losses due to turbulence. It is generally recommended that each elbow have a radius of 2.5 diameters; as the radius becomes larger or smaller, the amount of velocity pressure loss increases. Branches are designed to enter ducts gradually, at entry angles of 30 percent or less. The maximum entry angle is 45 percent. Additional information on duct losses and losses in other parts of the local exhaust ventilation system are available from ACGIH. In designing a system, the engineer or industrial hygienist must first consider the amount of air flow required at each hood to collect the contaminated air. Duct sizes are then selected for each branch in the system so that will air movement will be distributed between hoods as necessary. During this design phase, the goal of the engineer is to maintain the proper air velocities in order to prevent the deposition of contaminants and to hold cost and power requirements to a minimum, Because of the potentially high costs associated with an incorrectly designed or balanced ventilation system, the industrial hygienist must work closely with an engineer in the design phase. c. Air Cleaners Air cleaners are often designed into ventilation systems to remove contaminants from the airstream. Those intended for use in heating and air conditioning systems are designed to handle large volumes of air. These systems clean incoming air from outside and recirculated air from within the building using filters that are often disposable. Industrial ventilation systems carrying airstreams contaminated With potentially toxic materials must remove materials to prevent their release to the environment. Removal of contaminants may also be required because of regulations or to recover valuable materials. Such systems may have to efficiently remove dusts, such as silica, metals and pigments, gases, vapors, fumes and aerosols, The cleaners may have to operate under high or low loading conditions. The cleaning method selected will depend upon the physical state of the contaminant, its physical properties, the airflow in the system, particle characteristics and other factors. Various cleaners exist for collecting dusts. These include cyclones and wet/dry centrifugals, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters and settling chambers. Filters and baghouse filters operate under the principles of

Chapter 1

interception, impaction and diffusion of particles. The mechanism for cyclones and centrifugal collectors is the generation of circular motions which move particles to the outer walls of the cleaner where they impact and fall out of the airstream. Electrostatic precipitators operate by creating an electrical field which charges particles in the airstream. The charged particles subsequently migrate to an oppositely charged plate where they are collected and removed. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages which must be considered when designing the system. Gases or vapors are collected or removed from airstreams using one of three methods; adsorption, absorption or combustion. Adsorption is the process in which a gas or vapor adheres to the surface of a solid material, such as activated carbon or silica gel. In such a system, no chemical reaction occurs and breakthrough may occur if all active sites on the adsorbant are occupied by the material being collected. The capacity of an adsorbant will depend upon several factors, including its surface area and the concentration of the contaminant in the airstream. After the adsorbant has been saturated, the solvents can often be reclaimed and the adsorbant reactivated. Absorption is also utilized to collect vapors and gases. In this process, the contaminated airstream is fed to a scrubber or packed tower containing a liquid which will dissolve or chemically react with the contaminant. Because of its low toxicity and its ability to dissolve many materials, water is often used for this purpose. Often, water-soluble gases such as ammonia and hydrogen chloride are collected in this type of cleaning system. The resulting solutions from these operations must ultimately be disposed of responsibly. Finally, airstreams may be cleaned of vapors or gases using combustion techniques. In some cases, waste streams may be directly burned as fuel. Catalytic combustion, in which catalysts are utilized to accelerate combustion, is sometimes employed for removing odors and vapors from many operations. In designing the air cleaning device for an operation, the engineer will work with environmental specialists and industrial hygienists to select the appropriate method. These professionals will provide information on the health and environmentaleffects of the various contaminants and the resulting wastes and byproducts of the cleaning operations. In addition, they will advise the engineer on the impact of regulations on the collection and ultimate disposal of these materials.

d. Fans Fans, exhausters and blowers are called air-moving devices. Fans are critical to the local exhaust ventilation system since they supply the energy to produce a continuous flow of air, resulting in the system's air movement. Whenever possible, the fan should be located downstream from the air cleaner so that it will not handle contaminated air and will pull, rather than push, air through the system. Two kinds of fans are used in industrial ventilation: axial flow types and centrifugal types. Axial flow fans, using propellers or blades, have airflow parallel to the shaft. For centrifugal fans, the airflow is perpendicular to the shaft. Axial fans are typically more efficient, more compact and less costly than centrifugal types. However, centrifugal fans, which have radial, forward curved or backward inclined blades, are generally less noisy than axial types. Because different fans exhibit different noise characteristics, it is important to consider the "noise rating" of the fan and the requirements of the process before selecting the fan to be used in the system. The appropriate fan for a particular system is chosen based on several factors. Fans are characterized by the following factors; flow volume, the static pressure at which the flow is produced, motor horsepower, noise level, efficiency and material handling characteristics. The selection must be made based on the "fan curve" for the fan, which graphically shows the relationship between the fan's flow rate and its static pressure, and the system curve, which describes volumetric flow and static pressure for the exhaust system. The fan is then selected based on these characteristics and the system requirements. For systems in operation, the four "fan laws" are particularly useful to the industrial hygienist and engineer in predicting the effects of changes in operating parameters. These laws define the relationships between the following parameters: volume flow rate (CFM), revolutions per minute (RPM), horsepower (HP) and static pressure (SP). The four "laws" arc as follows:

by the square of RPM and horsepower changes by the cube of the RPM.

Finally, in order for the ventilation system to work well, sufficient make-up air must be supplied to the areas from which contaminated air has been exhausted. Although the amount of make-up air must be equal to the volume of exhausted air, systems typically are designed to replace a 10%excess. Actual make-up air requirements will depend upon the operation and area being ventilated. e. Exhaust Stacks Exhaust stacks must be carefully designed to prevent the recirculation of exhaust air into clean make-up air intakes. Prior to designing this part of the local exhaust system, ventilation manuals should be consulted in determining the impact of air currents and stack height on contaminant dispersion. In addition, it must be kept in mind that stack heights are often controlled by local zoning laws; therefore, the appropriate environmental personnel must be consulted while designing this part of the system. In summary, the engineer responsible for designing a ventilation system for a process must understand the complex principles of industrial ventilation. The engineer must consult with the hygienist to obtain information on potential emission sources in the process and the toxicities of the materials being handled. The many references for ventilation principles and methods should be consulted throughout the design of the system. D. The Industrial Hygiene Program

As the equations indicate, volume flowrate changes by the square root of the static pressure and is directly related to the revolutions per minute (RPM). Static pressure changes

The elements of industrial hygiene discussed above must be brought together and incorporated into effective indust-

20

rial hygiene programs on both site and corporate levels. Site programs must include written policies, procedures and practices which promote the recognition, evaluation, control and prevention of health hazards and stresses. These programs must address the issue of workplace exposure assessment of specific job operations and tasks. As discussed previously, it is important for workplace exposures to be characterized accurately in order to ensure that potential health hazards are minimized. If costly engineering controls, such as ventilation, are to be recommended, it is critical for the data to be reliable and truly representative, Evaluations of constantly changing, complex work environments require the development of logical exposure assessment strategies by site and corporate industrial hygienists. These strategies should include basic characterization of the workplace, workforce and chemical inventory. Using this information, individuals are categorized into groups of workers who are expected to have similar exposure profiles. These are called heterogeneous exposure groups. The assessment strategy should also rank exposures using professional judgement and qualitative risk assessment tools. Monitoring programs are then written and formalized. Judgement and statistical tools can then be utilized to interpret the data and to make decisions regarding the need for controls or process changes. The industrial hygiene program should also include procedures to ensure that employees and contractors receive appropriate training. This must include training as part of an effective hazard communication program as required by OSHA in 29 CFR 1910.1200. Information concerning the potential hazards of chemicals and other stresses must be conveyed to the workforce. Employees must understand the health hazards they may encounter and how they can prevent these exposures. Training must also be conducted so that labeling systems used by the workers are understood. In addition to the need for worker training, it is essential that line management is trained to understand the requirements of the industrial hygiene program. Only with the strong commitment of management can the program be effectively developed and implemented. After the workplace and workforce have been characterized with respect to exposures, each plant or site must ensure that all potential hazards are controlled or prevented. Whenever feasible, engineering controls, such as ventilation, process isolation, substitution or barriers, should be utilized. When necessary, administrative controls may be used and, as a last resort, the use of personal protective

Chapter 1

equipment may be necessary. Policies addressing these issues should be included, in writing, as part of the program.The program should also include documented procedures for ongoing inspections, preventative maintenance, housekeeping practices, respiratory protection training and use,annual program reviews and maintenance of accurate records. These records include exposure information, as required by 29 CFR 1910.20, and documentation of training records. As discussed earlier, the OSHA HAZWOPER standard requires the development of plans for emergency response activities and training and drills to prepare potential responders. Finally, responsibilities relating to all aspects of the program must be clearly defined in writing.

To assure that the industrial hygiene program is running efficiently, periodic audits should be conducted. These audits should address all aspects of the program, including training, hazard communication, worksite analysis, hazard control, recordkeeping and management commitment aspects. Most companies are organized so that health and safety audits are conducted by persons who are trained in the appropriate disciplines but are not directly responsible for the programs being audited. This allows the auditors to maintain an objective and fresh perspective of the program and its effectiveness. These audits should be conducted in a cooperative spirit to the largest extent possible. Identifying inadequacies in programs and finding constructive solutions must be a joint effort of auditors, the appropriate industrial hygiene professionals and engineers within an organization. E. Incorporating Industrial Hygiene Concerns into Process Planning

Close cooperation between the engineer and health and safety personnel is essential in designing a safe workplace. Several things must be considered during the new plant review process. Formal procedures should be developed for conducting these reviews, with the appropriate input from toxicology, industrial hygiene, environmental and safety representatives. It is critical that this process be incorporated into the earliest planning and design stages of a project. Failure to do so may result in costly process modifications or retrofitting later in the project. The following issues should be considered as part of these new project reviews. The toxicity of the raw materials and final products must be considered by the group or department that will be operating the process. A product which has extremely high to-

xicity, for example, may not have a viable long-term

21

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

market. Potential regulations which may impact the production or sales of the product must be carefully reviewed prior to designing and building a production facility. The engineer must design a process which will adequately control exposures to whatever materials are used or manufactured in the plant. In doing this, toxicologists and industrial hygienists must be consulted to determine the necessary controls for the raw materials and intermediates handled in each part of the process. The health professionals will summarize the toxicological concerns and work with the engineer to design the process appropriately. During the evaluation of the toxicological profiles for the raw materials and products of the planned process, the industrial hygienist and engineer should review the Permissible Exposure Limits, Threshold Limit Values or other acceptable concentrations for each chemical. These limits will assist the engineer in designing the process controls. In addition, many of the ventilation guidelines and manuals discussed previously incorporate safety factors and acceptable airborne limits into design criteria for ventilation systems. Regulations must also be discussed with the appropriate departments early in the design phase. Environmental and other workplace regulations may impact the need for emissions controls and air cleaners. Many OSHA regulations, such as the expanded chemical standards discussed previously, include specific requirements for permissible exposures, clean-up stations and other issues which affect the design process. It is essential that these considerations be addressed during the design phase.

materials handling. It is not intended as a textbook or instructional aid for students, although it could be a useful reference for those individuals. Additionally, it is not the intent to reinvent or introduce new terminology or hazards classifications and systems. Its purpose is to provide a concise reference that will aid those professionals that have responsibilities in managing and or directly handling hazardous chemical compounds. The author has indeed encountered many different terms and classification systems while working internationally, with most notable differences existing between Western European and U .S. terminology, and those used within republics of the fornier Soviet Union. Although such distinctions exist, only internationally accepted terminology and definitions should be used when dealing with hazardous materials. Therefore, only terms and definitions that are well established in the United States and European Union are used throughout the handbook, and no attempt to compare different classification systems or definitions are made. Many terms used under the U.S. OSH standards are employed in the handbook, however the author has been careful to rely most heavily on those definitions which are more universally accepted as opposed to legal definitions that are unique to the U.S. regulatory system.

Other industrial hygiene concerns should also be addressed by the engineer. Work practices for maintenance, quality control sampling and operations must be considered. For example, the level of controls designed into sampling ports will depend on the toxicity of the material being collected. Some operations may be designed so that much of the process is controlled remotely from a centralized control room. Again, the industrial hygienist will assist the engineer by providing input into these issues as appropriate.

The first main reference section that the reader will encounter deals with general information on safety protocol, and in particular provides descriptive information on work environment sampling techniques, instrumentation and sampling protocol, and personal protection issues as related to hazardous site investigations. In particular, information on action levels that would require certain types of sampling, sampling plans and personal protection are described in Chapter 2 (“Industrial Hygiene Sampling and Personal Protection”). Chapter 2 is designed to provide descriptive information on safety protocol and equipment and will serve as an overall reference guide for site safety managers and health and safety officers working on hazardous sites, particularly in remediation type programs. Generic types of protective clothing and respirators are described in this chapter. The reader may refer to this chapter for additional terminology that are referenced in the data sections of the handbook.

Chapter 3 (“Chemical Classification Guide”) contains information than can assist the reader in identifying information on chemical compounds. It has one section which is an index to chemical names, which is comprised of an alphabetical listing of chemicals by their most common names, along with the best known synonym for each chemical. The reader may also refer to the Hazard

These terms are defined in section IV below. The reader may also refer to the author’s book on Pollution Prevention Software Systems (Noyes Publications, Westwood, N.Y., 1997), which provides a summary of commercially available software systems that the reader may refer to for more extensive health and safety information, for conducting risk assessments, documentation control, and health risk site management. This summary should not be viewed as endorsements of the commercial software or data bases identified. The reader will need to make her or his own assessment as to the usefulness of each system; however the features of each are described to facilitate an assessment of the management tool. C. Organization of Chemical Reactivity, Fire and Explosion Information

The handbook contains information needed to help personnel make the proper decisions for the safe handling of chemical compounds and dangerous materials. Fire and explosion hazards represent a class of situations which is labeled as being immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH), a term favored by tlie United States Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSH standards). Chemicals that fall into this category pose imminent danger to human health and property. Information on the fire characteristics of common chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 (“Guide to Chemical Reactivity, Fire and Explosion“). Basic fire property data on chemicals are included in this chapter, largely derived from the NIOSH and CHRIS data bases, along with published information on material safety data sheets provided by several hundred chemical suppliers. Fire terms and terminology that are used in the tabulated information provided in Chapter 4 can be found in section IV in this chapter. The reader should therefore review section IV of Chapter 1 and understand the terms before using the data in Chapter 4. Information on chemical reactivity can also be found in Chapter 4. This data is particularly useful for determining chemical compatibility. The reader should cross-reference the information on specific chemicals in Chapter 4 with the chemical classification guide in Chapter 3. D. Organization of Hazardous Chemical Data

The handbook contains information needed to help personnel make the proper response to handling chemicals

Chapter 1

and in particular during an emergency situation; as such, this handbook could be carried to the actual scene of a hazardous materials incident. In the latter case, it is intended for use by personnel and others who may be the first to arrive at the site of an accidental discharge or fire and who need readily available and easily understood information about the hazardous properties of the chemical involved. The information provided can assist in determining the proper actions that should be taken immediately to safeguard life and property and to prevent contamination of the environment. Health hazard and toxicological information on chemicals is provided in Chapter 5 (“Health Risk Information”). This chapter contains tabulated data and text which describes the chemical and biological hazards of various materials so that personnel at the scene of a hazards materials incident can assess the danger and consider the appropriate largescale response. Chapters 4 aid 5 are the cornerstone of the handbook. For each substance, Chapter 5 lists the specific chemical, physical, and biological data needed for the preparation and use of emergency response and safe handling decisions. In this respect, Chapter 5 is most beneficial to the On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) of a hazardous materials incident. Additionally, Chapter 5 provides the type of health and safety information needed to conduct a risk assessment for standard chemical handling and storing operations. The chapter’s data can be used for selection of personal protective equipment, and along with the information in Chapter 4, be used to ascertain the chemical reactivity of the chemical compound. This information is important to safe handling operations both for laboratory environments as well as bulk chemical handling facilities. The use of specific tables and information are described before each table or text summary, however there are certain terms that are abbreviated, as well as terminology that some readers may not be totally familiar with. The basic terminology used in this chapter can be found in section IV of this chapter. Other terms and definitions not described in section IV below may be found in the Glussar)~at the end of the handbook. E.

Organization of Emergency and Spill Response Information

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has developed specific guidelines for transporters faced with a hazards materials incident while cheniicals are in transit. This information forms the basis for chapters 6 and 7 . Chapter 6 (“Emergency Response Fact Sheets”) provides a compendium of chemicals, listing them

23

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

alphabetically and cross-referencing them to DOT Emergency Response Fact Sheets that are included in that chapter. Those chemicals which are known to be extremely dangerous in a fire or spill situation are highlighted in Chapter 6 and cross referenced to the information in Chapter 7 . Chapter 7 ("Isolation Distances for Fires and Spills") contains DOT recommended initial isolation distances for spills and leaks involving high hazard chemicals. The information in this chapter is based on the terms and definitions provided in section IV below. The reader should carefully review the following section in order to become acquainted with the proper use of the data provided throughout the handbook. The spill or leak from a container, storage vessel or any type of transport vehicle of a potentially flammable or even combustible material can pose a serious fire hazard and health risk. In the United it is the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) responsibility to enforce regulations that ensure that transporters not only follow all safety precautions and meet technical requirements for the safe transport of hazardous materials, but that in the event of an emergency such as a spill or leak, that proper emergency response action is implemented. Additionally, the DOT is in part responsible for enforcing environmental regulations in that it must work along with the environmental regulatory agencies to ensure that both the general public and the environment are not exposed to a hazardous chemical spill and that proper clean up action is implemented.

other information that will be useful to the reader in interpreting the data. The expression "Not Pertinent" means that the data item either has no real meaning (such as the flash point of a inflammable chemical) or is not required for assessing a hazardous situation. The expression "Data Not Available means that the information sought was not found in the general data sources consulted during the preparation of this handbook. In a few cases where important data were not available, values were estimated by usually reliable procedures; all such values are labeled "(est.)". If more accurate values for those items are found, they will be included in later revisions. The m e used for each of the chemicals included is either (1) that specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Titles 46 and 49 or (2) a common name for those chemicals known to be hazardous during shipment. In this regard, for most chemical names, the shipping name recommended by the U.S. DOT is used as it appears in Title 49 of the CFRs. The data are arranged in alphabetical order by chemical name, not by the 3-letter code. Although the letter code system rarely used in the handbook, the reader familiar with the CFR should note that the ,?-lettercode is designed to facilitate correct identification of chemicals in oral or written communication. The code should be used only in addition to the compound name; it should not be used alone. For transmitting the code, use the phonetic alphabet given in the "International Code of Signals". A. Response to Discharge

The U.S. DOT Emergency Response Guidebook forms the basis of the information in Chapters 6 and 7, for use by firefighters, police, and other emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a hazardous materials incident. In applying the information provided in Chapters 6 and 7 , the reader should be aware of an organization supported by industry in the United States, which is the Chemical Transportation Emergency Center or CHEMTREC. CHEMTREC is an emergency information center that can provide technical advise on how best to handle a specific hazard materials incident. In the U.S., the toll free number to contact CHEMTREC is 1-800-4249300. CHEMTREC is a service of the chemical industry. Detailed information on how CHEMTREC can assist in a hazards materials incident is provided in Chapter 7.

In every case of a discharge or leak, it is obvious that an effort should be made to reduce, stop, or contain the flow of material at its source if this can be done safely. The purpose of the terms used in this section is to describe in a general way the cautionary and corrective responses that are well recognized by trained emergency response personnel.

"Issue warning" is used when the chemical is a poison, has a high .flammability, is a water contaminant, is an air coritamiriarit (so as to be hazardous to life), is an oxidzirig material, or is corrosive. This type of response warning is most often

B. Chemical Designations Synonyms -Alternative systematic chemical names and commonly used trivial names are given. Commercial or trade names are shown in a few cases where they are in common use. An index of synonyms is included in this handbook (Chapter 3); it includes mostly those names given in Chapters 4 and 5.

- The U .S. Coast Guard defines 43 cargo groups listed in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular No. 4-75, "Guide to Compatibility of Chemicals". Appropriate parts of the Guide are included in this handbook, primarily in Chapter 3.

Chemical Formula - This has been limited to a commonly used one-line formula. In the case of some organic compounds it has not been possible to represent chemical structure within such a limitation. MOOlUnited Nations Numerical Designation - The designation is that of the "International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code" originally published by the InterGovernmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO), London, 1972. The designation is not used in this handbook, but the reader should be aware of it. Packing Group - This designation has been given by the USDOT and is assigned to all hazardous materials being shipped. A packing group designation defines the relative hazard of a chemical shipment. This designation is used extensively in the tables in Chapter 5. The packing group appears as an upper case Roman Numeral I, II or III, depending on the degree of hazard. The meanings of these designationsare as follows: I refers to Most Hazardous (or Most Regulated); II refers to Moderately Hazardous (or Moderately Regulated); III refers to Least Hazardous (or Least Regulated). The reader should refer to Section 172.101, part f of Title 49 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (parts 100 to 177) when engaged in the shipment of hazardous materials.

C. Observable Characteristics

Physical State (as shipped) - All chemicals that are listed in Code of Federal Regulations, Title 46 are shipped as liquids. Other designations include liquefied gas, liquefied compressed gas, and solid. Where a compound may be shipped either as a liquid or solid, both designations are given. The reader should also refer to Title 49 of the CFRs for guidelines on the transportation of hazardous materials. Color - All color descriptions found in the common reference sources are included. The color description is that for pure material. Occasionally the color of a chemical changes when it dissolves in water or becomes a gas.

- All odor descriptions found in the common reference sources are included. The expression "characteristic is used only when no other reasonable description was found. The odor description is that for pure material. Odor

D. Health Hazards Personal Protective Equipment - The items listed are those recommended by (a) manufacturers, either in

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

technical bulletins or in Material Safety Data Sheets, (b) the Manufacturing Chemists Association, or (c) the National Safety Council, for use by personnel while responding to fire or accidental discharge of the chemical. They are intended to protect the lungs, eyes, and skin. Safety showers and eyewash fountains are considered to be important protective equipment for the handling of almost all chemicals; they are not usually listed. Symptoms Following Exposure - These are brief descriptions of the effects observed in humans when the vapor (gas) is inhaled, when the liquid or solid is ingested (swallowed), and when the liquid or solid comes in contact with the eyes or skin.

- "First-aid" procedures are recommended. They deal With exposure to the vapor (gas), liquid, or solid and include inhalation, ingestion (swallowing) and contact with eyes or skin. The instruction "Do not induce vomiting" is given if an unusual hazard is associated with the chemical being sucked into the lungs (aspiration) while the patient is vomiting. "Seek medical attention" or "Call a doctor" is recommended in those cases where only competent medical personnel can treat the injury properly. In all cases of human exposure, seek medical assistance as soon as possible. The sources of these recommendations are entirely from product specific MSDSs. Treatment for Exposure

Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value) - The threshold limit value (TLV) is usually expressed in units of parts per million (ppm) - i .e ., the parts of vapor (gas) per million parts of contaminated air by volume at 25°C (77°F) and atmospheric pressure. For a chemical that forms a fine mist or dust, the concentration is given in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3). The TLV is defined as the concentration of the substance in air that can be breathed for five consecutive eight-hour workdays (40hour work week) by most people without adverse effect. (This definition is given by American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, "Threshold Limit Values for Substance in Workroom Air, Adopted by ACGIH for 1972"). As some people become ill after exposure to concentrations lower than the TLV, this value cannot be used to define exactly what is a "safe" or "dangerous " concentration.

No entry appears when the chemical is a mixture; it is possible to calculate the TLV for a mixture only when the TLV for each component of the mixture is known and the composition of the mixture by weight is also known.

25

Short-Term Inhalation Limits - The parts of vapor (gas per million parts of contaminated air by volume at 25°C (77°F) and atmospheric pressure is given. The limits are given in milligrams per cubic meter for chemicals that can form a fine mist or dust. The values given are the maximum permissible average exposures for the time periods specified. The term Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is also used and is considered interchangeable with Short - Term Inhalation Limit. The STEL designation is derrived from OSH standards.

In some instances the values disagree, or the short-term limits overlap the TLV. These are not errors; the values were supplied by several laboratories, each of which used its own experimental techniques and methods of calculation. Toxicity by Ingestion - The designation and corresponding LD, value are those defined in most cases by the National Academy of Sciences, Committee on Hazardous Materials, "Evaluation of the Hazard of Bulk Water Transportation of Industrial Chemicals, A Tentative Guide, Washington, D .C ., 1972. Actual data were collected from other sources such as material safety data sheets. The term LD,, (meaning "lethal dose at the 50th percentile population") signifies that about 50% of the animals given the specified dose by mouth will die. Thus, for a chemical whose LD,, is below 50 mg/kg, the toxic dose for 50%of animals weighing 70 kg (150 lb) is 70x 50 = 3500 mg = 3.5 g, or less than one teaspoonful; it might be as little as a few drops. For a chemical with an LD,, of between 5 to 15g/kg, the LD, would be between a pint and a quart for a 150-lb man. All LD,, values have been obtained using small laboratory animals such as rodents, cats, and dogs. The substantial risks taken in using these values for estimating human toxicity are the same as those taken when new drugs are administered to humans for the first time. Late Toxicity - Where there is evidence that the chemical can cause cancer, mutagenic effects, teratogenic effects, or a delayed injury to vital organs such as the liver or kidney, a qualitative description of the effect is given. The term can be interpreted as implying long term or chronic effects due to exposure to the chemical. In this respect, a distinction must be made between acute and chronic effects. An acute effect is one in which there is a short term or immediate response, usually due to exposure of the chemical at a high concentration. A chronic effect implies a long term exposure to small doses, with symptoms sometimes taking years to materialize.

Since MSDSs often provide non-qualifying statements, the most appropriate of five statements listed below is given. (Source: National Academy of Sciences, Committee on Hazardous Materials, "Evaluation of the Hazard of Bulk Water Transportation of Industrial Chemicals, A Tentative Guide, Washington, D.C ., 1970.)

will ignite in air when exposed to a flame. Depending on the test method used, the values given are either Tag Closed Cup (C.C.) (ASTM D56)or Cleveland Open Cup (O.C.) (ASTM 093). The values, along with those given below, provide an indication of the relative flammability of the chemical. In general, the open cup value is about 10" to 15°F higher than the closed cup value.

1. Vapors are nonirritating to eyes and throat. 2. Vapors cause a slight smarting of the eyes or respiratory system if present in high concentrations. The effect is temporary. 3. Vapors cause moderate irritation such that personnel will find high concentrations unpleasant. The effect is temporary. 4. Vapors are moderately irritating such that personnel will not usually tolerate moderate or high concentrations. 5. Vapors cause severe irritation of eyes and throat and can cause eye and lung injury. They cannot be tolerated even at low concentrations.

Flammable Limits in Air - The percent concentration in air- (by volume) is given for the lower (LFL)and upper (UFL) limit. The values, along with those for flash point and ignition temperature, give an indication of the relative flammability of the chemical. The limits are sometimes referred to as "lower explosive limit" (LEL) and "upper explosive limit" (UEL). Chapter 4 provides a detailed technical explanation.

Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics-

"

Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics - The most appropriate of the following four statements is given (same source as above):

1. No appreciable hazard. Practically harmless to the

skin. 2. Minimum hazard. If spilled on clothing and allowed to remain, may cause smarting and reddening of skin. 3. Causes smarting of the skin and first-degree bums on short exposure; may cause second-degree bums on long exposure. 4. Fairly severe skin imtant. May cause pain and second-degree bums after a few minutes' contact. Severe skin irritant. Causes second- and third-degree bums on short contact and is very injurious to the eyes.

- This is the lowest concentration in air that most humans can detect by smell. The value cannot be relied on to prevent overexposure, because human sensitivity to odors varies over wide limits, some chemicals cannot be smelled at toxic concentrations, odors can be masked by other odors, and some compounds rapidly deaden the sense of smell. Odor Threshold

Flammabilty Range - Defined as the difference between the UFL and LFL. This difference provides an indication of how wide the falmmability limits of a chemical are. Generally, the wider the range, the more hazardous the chemical may be considered from a fire standpoint. Fire Extinguishing Agents - The agents are listed in Chapter 4 for specific chemicals in decreasing order of importance. The general capabilities of all agents are described in the fire safety references cited at the end of this chapter. Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to be Used - The agents listed for specific chemicals in Chapter 4 must not be used because they react with the chemical and create an additional hazard. In some cases they are listed because they are ineffective in putting out the fire. Special Hazards of Combustion Products - Some chemicals decompose or bum to give off toxic and irritating gases. Such gases may also be given off by chemicals that vaporize in the heat of a fire without either decomposing or burning. If no entry appears with a chemical citation in Chapter 4, the combustion products are thought to be similar to those formed by the burning of oil, gasoline, or alcohol; they include carbon monoxide (poisonous), carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The specific combustion products are usually not well known over the wide variety of conditions existing in fires; some may be hazardous.

E. Fire Hazards Flash Point

- This is defined as the lowest temperature

at which vapors above a volatile combustible substance

Behavior in Fire - Any characteristic behavior that might increase significantly the hazard involved in a fire is described for specific chemicals in Chapter 4. The

27

formation of dense smoke or flammable vapor clouds, and the possibility of polymerization and explosions is stated. Unusual difficulty in extinguishing the fire is also noted.

if the material cannot be flushed away; the agent specified need not necessarily be used. This information can be found in Chapter 4.

Ignition Temperature - This is the minimum temperature at which the material will ignite without a spark or flame being present. Along with the values of flash point and flammable limits in air, it gives an indication of the relative flammability of the chemical. It is sometimes called the "autoignition temperature". The method of measurement is given in ASTM A2155.

Polymerization - A few chemicals can undergo rapid polymerization to form sticky, resinous materials, with the liberation of much heat. Under these conditions the chemical's containers may explode due to internal pressure buildup. For these chemicals the conditions under which the reaction can occur are given in Chapter 4.

Electrical Hazard - The ease with which the chemical is

ignited by electrical equipment is indicated by the Group and Class assignment made in "Fire Codes", Vol. 5 , National Fire Protection Association, Boston, Mass" 1972, pp. 70-289. Burning Rate - The value is the rate (in millimeters per

minute) at which the depth of a pool of liquid decreases as the liquid bums. Details of measurement are given by D.S. Burgess, A. Strasser, and J. Grwner, "Diffusive Burning of Liquid Fuels in Open Trays," Fire Research Abstracts and Reviews, 3,177 (1961). F. Chemical Reactivity Reactivity with Water - The term "No Reaction" means that no hazard results when the chemical reacts or mixes with water. Where a hazard does result, it is described for specific chemicals cited in Chapter 4. Reactivity with Common Materials - This is limited

to hazardous reactions with fuels and with common materials of construction such as metal, wood, plastics, cement, and glass. The nature of the hazard, such as severe corrosion or formation of a flammable gas, is described for specific chemicals in Chapter 4. Stability During Transport - The term "Stable" means that the chemical will not decompose in a hazardous manner under the conditions of temperature, pressure, and mechanical shock that are normally encountered during shipment; the term does not apply to fire situations. Where there is a possibility of hazardous decomposition, an indication of the conditions and the nature of the hazard is given for specific chemicals cited in Chapter 4. Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics - In all cases involving accidental discharge, dilution with water may be followed by use of the agent specified, particularly

Inhibitor of Polymerization - The chemical names and concentrations of inhibitors added by the manufacturer to prevent polymerization are given where apropriate.

G. Hazard Classifications Code of Federal Regulations - The hazard class specified in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49,Part 172. Chemicals not specifically listed therein have been classified as "Flammable" if their flash point (closed cup) is below 100°F.

UN Hazard Classes and Divisions - The hazard class of a material is indicated either by its class (or division) number, or its class name. For a placard corresponding to the primary hazard class of a material, the hazard class or division number must be displayed in the lower corner of the placard. The UN (United Nations) hazard classes are as follows:

Class 1 Explosives Division 1.1 Explosives with a mass explosion hazard Division 1.2 Explosives with a projection hazard Division 1.3 Explosives with predominantly a fire hazard Division 1.4 Explosives with no significant blast hazard Division 1.5 Very insensitive explosives; blasting agents Division 1.6 Extremely insensitive detonating substances Class 2 Cases Division 2.1 Flammable gas Division 2.2 Non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gas Division 2.3 Gas poisonous by inhalation Division 2.4 Corrosive gas Class 3 Flammable liquid and Combustible liquid Class 4 Flammable Solid; Spontaneously combustible material; and Dangerous when wet material

Terminology and How to Use the Handbook

H. Physical and Chemical Properties Physical State at 15OC and 1 atm - The statement indicates whether the chemical is a solid, liquid, or gas after it has reached equilibrium with its surroundings at “ordinary” conditions of temperature and pressure. Molecular Weight - The value given is the weight of a molecule of the chemical relative to a value of 12 for one atom of carbon. The molecular weight is useful in converting from molecular units to weight units, and in calculating the pressure, volume and temperature relationships for gaseous materials. The ratio of the densities of any two gases is approximately equal to the ratio of their molecular weights. The molecular weights of mixtures can be calculated if both the identity and quantity of each component of the mixture are known. Because the composition of mixtures described in this handbook is not known exactly, or because it varies from one shipment to another, no molecular weights are given for such mixtures. Boiling Point at 1 atm - The value is the temperature of a liquid when its vapor pressure is 1 atm. For example, when water is heated to 100°C (212°F)its vapor pressure rises to 1 atm and the liquid boils. The boiling point at 1 atm indicates whether a liquid will boil and become a gas at any particular temperature and sea-level atmospheric pressure. Freezing Point - The freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid. For example, liquid water changes to solid ice at 0°C (32°F). Some liquids solidify very slowly even when cooled below their freezing point. When liquids are not pure (for example, salt water) their freezing points are lowered slightly.

- The specific gravity of a chemical is the ratio of the weight of the solid or liquid to the weight of an equal volume of water at 4°C (or at some other specified temperature). If the specific gravity is less than 1.O (or less than 1.03 in seawater) the chemical will float; if higher, it will sink. Specific Gravity

Vapor (Gas) Specific Gravity - The value is the ratio of the weight of vapor to the weight of an equal volume of dry air at the same conditions of temperature and pressure. Buoyant vapors have a vapor specific gravity less than one. The value may be approximated by the ratio M129, where M is the molecular weight of the chemical. In some cases the vapor may be at a temperature different from that of the surrounding air. For example, the vapor from a

29

container of boiling methane at -172°F sinks in warm air, even though the vapor specific gravity of methane at 60°F is about 0.6. Latent Heat of Vaporization - The value is the heat that must be added to the specified weight of a liquid before it can change to vapor (gas). It varies with temperature; the value given is that at the boiling point at 1 atm. The units used are Btu per pound, calories per gram, and joules per kilogram. No value is given for chemicals with very high boiling points at 1 atm, because such substances are considered essentially nonvolatile. Heat of Combustion - The value is the amount of heat liberated when the specified weight is burned in oxygen at 25°C. The products of combustion, including water, are assumed to remain as gases; the value given is usually referred to as the “lower heat value.” The negative sign before the value indicates that heat is given off when the chemical burns. The units used are Btu per pound, calories per gram, and joules per kilogram. Heat of Decomposition - The value is the amount of heat liberated when the specified weight decomposes to more stable substances. The value is given for very few chemicals, because most are stable and do not decompose under the conditions of temperature and pressure encountered during shipment. The negative sign before the value simply indicates that heat is given off during the decomposition. The value does not include heat given off when the chemical bums. The units used are Btu per pound, calories per gram, and joules per kilogram. Heat of Solution - The value represents the heat liberated when the specified weight of chemical is dissolved in a relatively large amount of water at 25°C (“infinite dilution”). A negative sign before the value indicates that heat is given off, causing a rise in temperature. (A few chemicals absorb heat when they dissolve, causing the temperature to fall.) The units used are Btu per pound, calories per gram, and joules per kilogram. In those few cases where the chemical reacts with water and the reaction products dissolve, the heat given off during the reaction is included in the heat of solution. Heat of Polymerization - The value is the heat liberated when the specified weight of the compound (usually called the monomer) polymerizes to form the polymer. In some cases the heat liberated is so great that the temperature rises significantly, and the material may

Chapter 1

30

burst its container or catch fire. The negative sign before the value indicates that heat is given off during the polymerization reaction. The units used are Btu per pound, calories per gram, and joules per kilogram. Liquid Heat Capacity - The value is the heat (in Btu) required to raise the temperature of one pound of the liquid one degree Fahrenheit at constant pressure. For example, it requires almost 1 Btu to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water from 68°F to 69°F. The value is useful in calculating the increase in temperature of a liquid when it is heated, as in a fire. The value increases slightly with an increase in temperature. Liquid Viscosity - The value (in centipoise) is a measure of the ability of a liquid to flow through a pipe or a hole; higher values indicate that the liquid flows less readily under a fixed pressure head. For example, heavy oils have higher viscosities (i.e., are more viscous) than gasoline. Liquid viscosities decrease rapidly with an increase in temperature. A basic law of fluid mechanics states that the force per unit area needed to shear a fluid is proportional to the velocity gradient. The constant of proportionality is the viscosity.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) - The NFPAs "Recommended System for the Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials" (NFPA No. 704M)provides basic warning information to fire fighters in industrial plants and storage facilities. This system uses a diamondshaped warning symbol. The top, left, and right boxes refer to flammability, health, and reactivity hazards respectively and contain a number from 0 to 4. The exact meaning of each number is explained in Table 1 of this chapter, and the applicable numbers for each chemical are listed in Chapter 4. The bottom box is used for special hazards; the most common of these is a warning against the use of water, indicated by the symbol W . Department of Transportation (DOT) - The DOT provides guidelines and mandatory requkments for the safe transportation of hazardous materials. This information can be found in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) . Information on emergency response for a hazardous materials incident occurring during transportation is provided in a DOT publication (see references at the end of this chapter). Chapters 6 and 7 of the handbook contain information.

Solubility in Water - The value represents the pounds of a chemical that will dissolve in 100 pounds of pure water. Solubility usually increases when the temperature increases. The following terns are used when numerical data are either unavailable or not applicable: The term "Miscible" means that the chemical mixes with water in all proportions. The term "Reacts" means that the substance reacts chemically with water; thus,its solubility has no real meaning. "Insoluble" usually means that one pound of the chemical does not dissolve entirely in 100 pounds of water. (Weak solutions of "Insoluble" materials may still be hazardous to humans, fish, and waterfowl, however.)

Poison Control Centers - Throughout the United States and many parts of Western Europe, local Poison Control Centers are maintained at hospitals. These Centers can provide information on the chemical composition, appearance, and toxicity of common poisonous materials as well as information on the symptoms of exposure and on the emergency procedures recommended in the event of exposure. The information available at these centers deals mainly with common household materials. In the United States, Poison Control Centers are coordinated through the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in Washington, D.C.,but information can be requested through the local centers.

PROTECTION 1. INTRODUCTION

II. CHEMISTRY OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

This chapter is organized into an introductory discussion on the chemistry of hazardous materials, followed by two main sections. The first deals with personal sampling practices that would be implemented by an industrial hygienist to determine worker exposure to chemicals. The information in this section covers OSHA recommended sampling techniques. The second major section provides an overview of worker safety with regard to handling chemicals and other hazardous materials. Discussions largely cover personal protective equipment such as chemical protective clothing and respirators. The discussions are general and are designed to provide the reader with an overall working knowledge of personal protection options and the levels of protection that are available to choose from. Discussions pertinent to Hazmat (hazardous materials workers) are included in this section. Specific information that can assist the reader in selecting respirators for respiratory protection are given in this section.

The reader should note that there are a number of important terms that should be committed to memory. These terms include important properties of general classes of chemicals and of a few commonly used industrial chemicals. This section will attempt to familiarize the reader with the main points. This section is not intended for practicing industrial chemists, nor is it intended as anything other than a refresher for those with strong backgrounds in chemistry. It is intended to provide a brief introduction to chemistry for the safety manager who must, as a part of his responsibilities, deal with hazardous materials issues.

It is important to note that the industrial hygienist is not just restricted to assessing and correcting problems dealing with exposure to chemicals. His or her role extends to evaluating and recommending corrective actions for all types of workplace hazards, including biological, fire, elec trical, ergonomics, physical injuries and back disorders, eye protection, noise exposure, heat stress, and others. This handbook does not address these other important areas, but the reader will find comments and references to these other worker safety issues throughout this chapter.

A. Chemical Properties

All chemicals, including hazardous ones, are commonly described in terms of their physical, chemical, and biological properties. To use this information fully, it is necessary to understand the meaning and importance of the various individual properties, and also to have some grasp of the significance of the various numerical values within the context of chemicals at large. These properties can then be used along with other information to predict the likely behavior of hazardous chemicals, and to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations. The first step is to define and comment on several of the more critical properties that are useful in the handling of hazardous materials. Some basic terminology are listed in Table 1. Physical State at 2OoC - the physical nature of the chemical (solid, liquid, or gas) at 20°C (i.e., room temperature). Changing the temperature may alter the physical state, depending on the magnitude and direction of the change relative to the melting and boiling points of the chemical. 34

BODS ThOD Fire point Auto-ignition temperature Flashpoint Explosive limits Heat content Threshold limit value (TLV) Specific gravity (SG) Solubility (water; other solvents)

Boiling Point (BP) - the temperature at which a liquid changes to gas under standard atmospheric pressure (760 mm mercury). The BP of water is lOO"C, while the BPs of ethyl alcohol and n-hexane are 78.4"C and 68.7"C, respectively. Lowering the atmospheric pressure (e.g., by applying a vacuum) will lower the BP; conversely, higher pressures result in elevated boiling points. Melting Point IMP) - the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. The melting point is not particularly sensitive to atmospheric pressure, but it is responsive to dissolved salts which depress the melting point. Thus, in winter, it is usual to salt sidewalks to keep water from freezing. Vapor Pressure (VP)

- the pressure exerted by the

vapor in equilibrium with its liquid at a given temperature. Vapor pressure is a measure of the relative volatility of chemicals. Liquids with high vapor pressures generally represent a greater fire hazard than those with lower vapor pressures. For a given liquid the vapor pressure increases with increasing temperature. Consequently, drummed materials with high vapor pressures in particular should not be stored in direct sunlight, as overheating of the materials and resultant increases in vapor pressures could result in "pregnant" drums with failed or weakened seams. When used with solubility data, vapor pressure values can be used to predict the rate of evaporation of dissolved solvents from water. At 20"C, water, ethanol, and benzene exert vapor pressures of 17.5, 43.9, and 74 mm of mercury, respectively.

35

density of 0.9 is lighter than air and will rise and disperse. Heavy vapors present a particular hazard because of the way they accumulate: if toxic they may poison workers; if nontoxic they may displace air and cause suffocation by oxygen deficiency; if flammable, once presented with an ignition source, they represent a fire or explosion hazard. Gases heavier than air include carbon dioxide, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide. Density - the mass per unit volume of any substance, including liquids. The density of a liquid determines whether a spilled material that is insoluble in or immiscible with water will sink or float on water. Knowledge of this behavior is essential in checking whether to use water to suppress a fire involving the material. Specific Gravity (SG) - the ratio of the density of a

liquid as compared with that of water. Insoluble materials will sink or float in water depending on the SG. Materials heavier than water have SGs > 1, and materials lighter than water have SGs 7 is basic. For example, the pH of lemon juice is 2, while the pH of lye is about 14. +

Acidr

Acids may be inorganic, such as H,SO,, and are then known as mineral acids, or they may be organic, like acetic acid. Mineral acids may be weak or strong, but organic acids tend to be uniformly weak. Table 2 gives a list of commonly occuning acids along with their relative strengths. It should be noted that salts of several metals (e.g., A13', Fe3', and Zn") dissolve in water to produce acid solutions. Acids include a variety of compounds, many of which have other significant properties that contribute to their "reactivity." Typical reactions of acids are: neutralization of bases (strong and weak) and oxiclation of substances. Characteristics of common acids are presented in Table 3. Examples of neutralization of bases are the following reactions: H + + OH-+H,O HCI + NaOH + H20 + NaCI CaCO, + 2HC1+ CaCl, +H20

+ CO2

(potash lye), and calcium hydroxide (slaked lime). The concepts of strong versus weak bases, and concentrated versus dilute bases are exactly analogous to those for acids. Strong bases such as sodium hydroxide dissociate completely while weak bases such as the amines dissociate only partially. As with acids, bases can be either inorganic or organic. Typical reactions of bases include neutralization of acids, reaction with metals, and reaction with salts: Table 2. Relah've Strengths of Ackk in Water

An example of a reaction involving salt is: Pb(N03),

Characteristics to remember about some common bases are presented in Table 3.

- an atom or group of atoms, other

than hydrogen, bonded to the chain or ring of carbon atoms (e.g., the -OH group of alcohols, the -COOH group of carboxylic acids, the -0- group of ethers). Functional groups determine the behavior of molecules. Consequently, the unique hazards of an organic compound are often determined by its functional group(s).

2. General Properties and Nomenclature of Organics General Properties

Most compounds in which carbon is the key element are classified as organic. Common examples of organic compounds include degreasing solvents, lubricants, and heating and motor fuels. This subsection highlights some of the more common characteristics of organics as they relate to hazards. Various relevant classes of organics are presented in terms of chemical behavior and physical properties. In order to facilitate the discussion to follow, a few basic definitions will be presented first.

Most organic compounds are flammable. They tend to melt and boil at lower temperatures than most inorganic substances. Because many organic compounds volatilize easily at room temperature and possess relatively low specific heats and ignition temperatures, they tend to burn easily. Moreover, organic vapors often have high heats of combustion which, upon ignition, facilitate the ignition of surrounding chemicals, thus compounding the severity of the hazard.

Definitions Covalent - refers to a chemical bond in which there is

an equaljeven sharing of bonding electron pairs between atoms. This is typical of the bonding between carbon atoms and between carbon and hydrogen atoms in organic compounds. Hydrocarbons - chemical compounds consisting

primarily of carbon and hydrogen. Aliphatic - organic compound with the carbon backbone arranged in branched or straight chains (e.g., propane). Aromatic - organic molecular structure having the benzene ring (C,H,) as the basic unit (e.g., toluene, xylene) . Saturated - the condition of an organic compound in which each constituent carbon is covalently linked to four different atoms. This is generally a stable configuration (e .g ., CH,CH,CH,--propane). Isomers - different structural arrangements with the same chemical formula, (e.g., n-butane and t-butane).

Most organic compounds are less stable than inorganics. However, the presence of one or more halogen atoms (F,Cl,Br,I) in the molecular structure of an organic compound increases its stability and inertness to combustion. Thus, partially halogenated hydrocarbons bum with less ease than their nonhalogenated analogs. Fully halogenated derivatives, such as carbon tetrachloride (CCI,) and certain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are almost noncombustible. Most organic compounds are water-insoluble . Notable exceptions are the lower molecular weight alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones, all known to be "polar" molecules. This characteristic is of importance to fire fighting because the specific gravity of the compound will then be a major determinant of the suitability of water for the suppression of fires involving the chemical. Except for alkanes and organic acids, organic compounds tend to react easily with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or potassium dichromate. Moreover, a mixture of an oxidizing agent and organic matter is usually susceptible to spontaneous ignition. Notably, except for flammability and oxidation, organic compounds tend to react slowly with other chemicals.

Chapter 2

Norneii clatidre

This subsection will familiarize the reader with the naniing system for some of the more common and simple organic groups, and present the salient characteristics of these groups. The basic system of aliphatic organic nomenclature is shown in Table 4. The prefix for the name is based on the number of carbons involved and remains the same for each type of compound described. The suffix is determined by the type of compound and is independent of the number of carbons in the molecule. Thus, methane, methanol, methanol (formaldehyde), and niethanoic (formic) acid represent an alkane, an alcohol, an aldehyde, and a carboxylic acid, respectively, each with one carbon per molecule. In contrast, methanol,

ethanol, and propanol are all alcohols, but with one, two, and three carbons per molecule, respectively. The boiling points provided in Table 4 show the systematic trends in chemical properties as the number of carbons per molecule increases within a given chemical group, and as the various chemical groups are compared for a specific number of carbons per molecule. Thus, in general, within any group, the larger molecules are less volatile than the smaller ones. Also, alkanes tend to be more volatile than aldehydes. Systematic trends can also be observed for other properties, such as water solubility. It should be noted than the boiling points provided in Table 4 are for the straight-chain isomers of the molecules. If the values for branched chain molecules are included, the comparisons become complicated.

Industrial Hygiene Sampling and Personal Protection

Alkenes and alkynes are similar in structure to the alkanes except the alkenes contain a carbon-to-carbon double bond (C =C) and the alkynes contain a carbon-to-carbon triple bond (CzC). The name prefixes are exactly the same as for the alkanes with the same number of carbons, but the endings are -one for compounds with double bonds and their derivatives and -yne for compounds with triple bonds and their derivatives. Ethene (ethylene) and propene (propylene) are alkenes. Ethyne (acetylene) is an alkyne.

trichloracetic acid is almost a strong acid whereas acetic acid is a weak one. Organic Sulfonic Acids - (RS0,H) are generally

stronger acids than organic carboxylic acids. Organic Bases - (such as amines, RNH,) are weak bases but can be corrosive to skin or other tissue.

- (ROH) are not very reactive. The lower molecular weight alcohols (methanol, ethanol , propanol) are completely miscible with water, but the heavier alcohols tend to be less soluble. Most common alcohols are flammable. Aromatic alcohols like phenol are not as flammable (flashpoint = 79°C) and are fairly water soluble ( - 9 glL). Alcohols

Aromatics are molecules based on single or triple benzene rings. Some of the more common aromatics include benzene, toluene, xylene, and phenol. As previously mentioned, benzene is a 6-carbon ring with the formula C6H,. The ring has alternating double and single bonds, and is quite stable. The substitution of a methyl group (- CH,) for one of the hydrogens gives methyl benzene or toluene. The substitution of another methyl group gives dimethyl benzene or xylene. Substitution of a hydroxyl (-OH) for a hydrogen on the benzene ring gives hydroxy benzene or phenol. Aromatics can also be named more specifically based on a system of assigning names or numbers to various positions on the benzene ring. By using the numbering system for the carbons on single or multiple benzene rings in combination with the names of the relevant substituents, any aromatic compound can be assigned a unique name. 3. Properties of Individual Functional Groups Alkanes - Presented as (CnH21,+2), these are saturated hydrocarbons. The lower molecular weight alkanes (ethane through butane) are gases at standard temperature and pressure. The remainder are water-insoluble liquids, that are lighter than water and thus form films or oil slicks on the surface of water. Hence, water is not used to suppress fires involving materials, such as gasoline, that include substantial proportions of liquid alkanes. Alkanes are relatively unreactive with most acids, bases, and mild oxidizing agents. However, with addition of sufficient heat, alkanes will react and burn in air or oxygen when ignited. In fact, low molecular weight alkanes (LPG, butane, gasoline) are commonly used as fuels. Consequently, the biggest hazard from alkanes is flammability. Organic Carboxylic Acids

- (RCOOH) are usually

weak acids but can be very corrosive to skin. However, The substitution of Cl atoms on the carbon next to the carboxylic carbon, produces a stronger acid. Thus,

Alkenes - Also known as olefins, and denoted as C1,H211

the compounds are unsaturated hydrocarbons with a single carbon-to-carbon double bond per molecule. The alkenes are very similar to the alkanes in boiling point, specific gravity, and other physical characteristics. Like alkanes, alkenes are at most only weakly polar. Alkenes are insoluble in water but quite soluble in nonpolar solvents like benzene. Because alkenes are mostly insoluble liquids that are lighter than water and flammable as well, water is not used to suppress fires involving these materials. Because of the double bond, alkenes are more reactive than alkanes. Esters - These are not very reactive. Only the lowest molecular weight esters have appreciable solubility in water (e.g., ethyl acetate, 8 percent). Methyl and ethyl esters are more volatile than the corresponding unesterified acids. Most common esters are flammable. Esters are often easily recognizable due to their sweet to pungent odors.

Ethers - (R-O-R) are low on the scale of chemical reactivity. Aliphatic ethers are generally volatile, flammable liquids with low boiling points and low flashpoints. Well known hazardous e thers include diethyl ether, diiiiethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran. Beyond their flammability, ethers present an additional hazard, they react with atmospheric oxygen in the presence of light to form organic peroxides. Organic Peroxides - (R-0-0-R) are very hazardous. Most of the compounds are so sensitive to friction, heat, and shock that they cannot be handled without dilution. As a result, organic peroxides present a serious fire and explosion hazard. Commonly encountered organic

42

peroxides include benzoyl peroxide, peracetic acid, and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide. Aldehydes and Ketones - These share many chemical properties because they possess the carbonyl (C =0)group as a common feature of their structure. Aldehydes and ketones have lower boiling points and higher vapor pressures than their alcohol counterparts. Aldehydes and ketones through C, are soluble in water and have pronounced odors. Ketones are relatively inert while aldehydes are easily oxidized to their counterpart organic acids .

4. Chemistry of Flammables

Flanmlability, the tendency of a material to bum, can only be subjectively defined. Many materials that we normally do not consider flammable will bum, given high enough temperatures. Neither can flammability be gauged by the heat content of materials. Fuel oil has a higher heat content than many materials considered more flammable because of their lower flashpoint. In fact, flashpoint has become the standard for gauging flammability. The most common systems for designating flammability are the Department of Transportation (DOT) definitions, the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) system, and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act's (RCRA) definition of ignitable wastes, all of which use flashpoint in their schemes. The NFPA diamond, which comprises the backbone of the NFPA Hazard Signal System, uses a fourquadrant diamond to display the hazards of a material. The top quadrant (red quadrant) contains flammability information in the form of numbers ranging from zero to four. Materials designated as zero will not bum. Materials designated as four rapidly or completely vaporize at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature, and will bum readily (flashpoint

and aromatic hydrocarbons. Butyl - Butyl rubber is not resistant to oil or flame. It does have good resistance to ketones, esters, most acids and bases, and organic salts. Butyl has excellent impermeability to gases. Vinyl (PVC) - Polyvinyl Chloride has good to excellent resistance to amines and aromatics, inorganic acids, bases and salts. However, this lowcost elastomer has poor resistance to halogenated hydrocarbons, ketones and esters. Nitrile (NBR)- Nitrile polymers are practically unaffec ted by alkaline solutions, saturated salt solutions and aliphatic hydrocarbons, both saturated and unsaturated. They are affected little by fatty acids found in vegetable fats and oils or by aliphatic alcohols, glycols or glycerols. Nitrile rubber is not recommended, generally, for use in the presence of strong oxidizing agents, ketones, and a few other chemicals. Neoprene - In general, neoprene compounds have excellent resistance to all straight-chain hydrocarbons, all aliphatic hydroxy compounds such as methyl and ethyl alcohols and ethylene glycol, animal and vegetable fats and oils, and fluorinated hydrocarbons such as Freon refrigerants.

The materials highlighted in this chart are the following: Chlorinated Polyethylene - Sold under the brand name Cloropelm, a product of ILC Dover Company, this material has reduced tlaniniability and increased resistance to oil, ozone, and many chemicals. It has good to excellent resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons, phenols, ketones, esters, acids, and is impermeable to most gases. Much of the data compiled in the conipatibility was derived from ILC Dover literature. Flame Retardant Urethane - Polyurethanes are fairly resistant to many chemicals such as aliphatic solvents, alcohols, ethers, certain fuels, and oils. Viton - This is a specialty fluoroelastomer. Generally it has excellent resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants. most mineral acids, hydraulic fluids, and aliphatic

Heat stress and illness is a major concern when personnel are working in chemical protective clothing. The body's principal means of cooling is through the evaporation of sweat When personnel are working in chemical protective clothing, sweat is trapped inside the clothing and can not evaporate. This will raise the body's core temperature and can result in heat related illness. Heat Rash; This is the least severe reaction to heat stress and results in an inflammation of the skin. This is due to prolonged exposure to heat and humid air. The rash is agpvated by chafing clothing and results in discomfort and a decreased tolerance to heat. Heat Cranios; Craniping in the lower extremities and the lower abdomen. Cramps are frequently accompanies by weakness, moist warni skin and profuse sweating. If untreated, heat cramps can progress into heat exhaustion. Listen to your body! Heat Exhaustion; This is a mild form of shock caused by the loss of fluid and salt. Blood pools in the skin

as the body attempts to rid itself of excess heat. Symptoms include overall weakness, headache, nausea, breathing is rapid and shallow, pulse is rapid and weak, the victim will be perspiring profusely and will have cold clammy skin. Heat exhaustion may result in a loss of consciousness.

The following are field survey instruments required based on the anticipated hazards to be encountered: 1.

Control zone boundaries that have initially been defined by estimation of potential hazards must be defined and monitored using field survey instruments.

If untreated, heat exhaustion will progress into heat stroke. Listen to your body (it is not fooling)! 4.

Heat Stroke: This is a true emergency! Heat stroke is a failure of the body's heat regulating mechanism. Heat stroke has a high rate of mortality! Symptoms include overall weakness, deep respirations (getting more shallow as heat stress continues), a full and rapid pulse, hot dry skin with little or no perspiration, and frequently unconsciousness. If untreated, heat stroke can progress into DEATH!

Field survey instruments are used to identify andor quantify hazards.

Oxygen deficient or enriched atmosphere. Increased or decreased oxygen levels have an impact on respiratory protection requirements and the behavior of many hazardous materials (such as flammables).

2. Maintaining hydranon is critical to sustain the body's cooling mechanism. Thirst is not an adequate indicator of the need for fluid as it is approximately two quarts behind the body's actual requirements.

a.

An Oxygen Meter provides a direct reading of the percentage of oxygen that is present.

When working in a hot environment additional water should be consumed with meals and during breaks.

b.

An alternative to the use of an Oxygen Meter would be the use of a Colorimetric Tube for oxygen. This would also provide a reading in percent oxygen in air. An oxygen deficient atmosphere is defined (by OSHA) as having < 19.5% oxygen.

3.

4.

In order to sustain continuous work, individuals working in chemical protective clothing require breaks in order to rehydrate and cool down. Based on conditions the time out of chemical protective clothing may need to exceed the time working. Rotate personnel on a regular basis to minimize heat stress. Continuous operations may require a substantial number of personnel.

Physical conditioning is the most important preventative mea sure for preventing heat stress. The frequency of breaks is also important. Proper hydration of personnel can be a major help as heat loading of the body demands additional fluid be used to cool the organs via the blood. Cooling garments can also help in the battle against heat stress.

One should identify the field survey instruments required for reconnaissance operations when dealing with an unknown product as follows:

Flammability and corrosivity may not be the only liazards presented. It is important to keep in mind the potential for multiple hazards when dealing with hazardous materials. The guidelines for preparing decontamination solutions are: I.

When Dealing with Unknowns Under Emergency Conditions. Decontamination solutions are normally solutions of water and chemical compounds designed to react with and neutralize specific contaminants. The temperature of the liquid and contact time should be given consideration to be sure complete neutralization has taken place. In some cases hazardous materials workers may be faced with an unknown hazardous materials and will require decontamination after leaving the “hot zone.” The following solutions should be used for unknowns since they are effective for a variety of contaminants. Decon Solution A - A solution containing 5 % Sodium Carbonate (Na$O,) and 5 % Trisodium Phosphate (Na,PO,). Mix four pounds commercial grade Na, PO,

and four pounds of Na2C03with each (ten) gallons of

water. These chemicals are available in most hardware stores. Decon Solution B - A solution containing 10% Calcium H m h l o r i t e (Ca(ClO,>,). Mix eight pounds of (Ca(C10,)J with each (ten) gallons of water. Calcium Hypochlorite is commonly known as HTH and is available from swimming pool supply stores. Make sure you purchase HTH in plastic containers or transfer it from cardboard drums into clean plastic buckets marked "oxidizer" .

Five general purpose decon solutions are available for ten basic hazard classes. These are: Decon Solution A - A solution containing 5 % sodium carbonate (Na,CO,) and 5 % trisodium phosphate (Na,PO,) Decon Solution B - A solution containing 10% calcium hypochlorite (Ca(C 10,)J. Decon Solution C - A solution containing 5% trisodium phosphate (Na3P04).This solution can also be used as a general purpose rinse.

A general purpose rinse solution for both decon

solutions is a 5% solution of Trisodium Phosphate. To prepare the rinse mix 4 pounds of Na,PO, with each ten gallons of water.

Decon Solution D - A dilute solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl). Mix one pint of concentrated HC1 &Q 10 gallons of water. Stir with a wooden or plastic stirrer.

11. Decon Using Degradation Chemicals for Known

Decon Solution E - A concentrated solution of Tide or other detergent and water. Mix into a paste and scrub with a brush. Rinse with water.

CHEMICAL CLASSIFICATION GUIDE may refer to specific data tables and information sections in various chapters dealing with separate risk categories. This is not necessarily ideal because very often a primary risk factor such as fire may have serious secondary risks or may pose other primary risk factors such as inhalation exposure to first responders. For this reason, the author has intentionally repeated some datahformation in different chapters and sections of the handbook, and where appropriate, provided cross-reference between sections.

1. INTRODUCTION

Within the context of safety, the classification of chemicals is academic, simply because all chemicals are potentially dangerous. It is the degree of hazard that we are concerned with however, or perhaps more accurately stated, the degree of risk posed to human health and the environment when handling any one or a combination of chemicals. Specific emergency response actions to spills, leaks and fires, safe handling and storing practices, hazardous site cleanup operations, the safe applications of chemicals, and indeed their synthesis and manufacturing, all depend on the particular properties of the chemicals involved and the degree of risk they pose. The purpose of this handbook is to try and provide some of the technical information and data that will enable the user to make a risk assessment for the chemicals she or he is responsible for.

This still leaves us with the question of how best to extract information pertinent to any one chemical. The reader is given two options, with this chapter providing a starting basis for researching information from the handbook. In this chapter an index of synonyms to common chemical compound names is given. Second, the USDOT listing of chemicals according to shipping number designation is provided in Chapter 6 . The information in Chapter 6 is an alternative way to identify a chemical compound because it provides the proper or common shipping name recognized in international and North American shipments along with the 4-digit shipping number designation. In subsequent chapters (particularly in Chapters 4 and 5), a chemical is most often identified by its most common chemical name.

There are numerous epidemiological studies reported by various industry sectors, as well as a library of electronic data bases available providing information on toxicological properties, chemical stability and fire safety. These are essential references that should be consulted if the basic information required cannot be obtained from this handbook. In all cases, the reader needs to determine how best to access the required information in an expedient manner. On any one chemical, a separate and extensive treatise can be (and probably has been) compiled, but it is particularly true when responding to a hazard materials incident, that only the most crucial and pertinent data is needed in order to formulate a safe and effective initial response. An attempt to organize safety information based on risk category (i.e., fire hazard, chemical stability, and health risk) has been made in the handbook; hence the user

II. INDEX OF SYNONYMS Following is an index of synonyms corresponding to common chemical compound names. Data sections of the handbook that provide information on the hazardous properties of chemicals, reference the chemical by its most common compound name. This index should be used to identify a common name if the synonym is known.

to form 0,, hydrogen reacts with itself to form H,, nitrogen reacts with itself to form N,, fluorine reacts with itself to form F,, and chlorine reacts with itself to form Cl,. Forming diatomic molecules, however, is the extent of the self-reaction of the elemental gases, while carbon has the ability to combine with itself almost indefinitely. Although the elemental gases f o m molecules when they combine with themselves, the carbon-to-carbon combination must include another element or elements, generally hydrogen. This combination of carbon with itself (plus hydrogen) forms a larger molecule with every carbon atom that is added to the chain. When the chain is strictly carbon-to-carbon with no branching, the resulting hydrocarbon is referred to as a straight-chain hydrocarbon. Where there are carbon atoms joined to carbon atoms to form side branches off the straight chain, the resulting compound is known as a branched hydrocarbon, or an isomer.

This chapter is organized into three major subsections. The first section covers theory and practical information concerning hydrocarbon fires. Both the chemistry and pertinent data concerning this important class of chemicals are discussed from a fire safety standpoint. The second subsection provides a guide to chemical reactivity for incompatible binary mixtures. The third subsection provides extensive data tables and information on the flammability and chemical compatibility of commercial chemicals. II. PROPERTIES AND FLAMMABILITY OF HYDROCARBONS

A. Chemistry Fundamentals

Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Since a hydrocarbon is a chemical combination of hydrogen and carbons, both of which are non-metals, hydrocarbons are covalently bonded. Hydrogen has only one electron in the outer ring and, therefore, will form only one bond, by donating one electron to the bond. Carbon, on the other hand, occupies a unique position in the Periodic Table, being halfway to stability with its four electrons in the outer ring. None of these electrons are paired, so carbon uses all of them to form covalent bonds. Carbon's unique structure makes it the basis of organic chemistry.

The carbon-to-hydrogen bond is always a single bond. While the resulting bond between carbon and hydrogen is always a single bond, carbon does have the capability to form double and triple bonds between itself and other carbon atoms, andor any other atom that has the ability to form more than one bond. When a hydrocarbon contains only single bonds between carbon atoms, it is known as a saturated hydrocarbon; when there is at least one double or triple bond between two carbon atoms anywhere in the molecule, it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon. When determining the saturation or unsaturation of a hydrocarbon, only the carbon-tocarbon bonds are considered, since the carbon-to-hydrogen bond is always single.

Carbon not only combines covalently with other nonmetals, but also with itself. Oxygen also reacts with itself

Guide to Chemical Reactivity, Fire and Explosion

This section provides an overview of the chemistry, properties and fire hazards of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are among the most useful materials to mankind, but are also among the most dangerous in terms of their fire potential. An analogous series of hydrocarbons, and one of the simplest, are the compounds known as the alkanes. In this series, the names of all the compounds end in -ane. The first cornpound in this series is methane. Methane's molecular formula is CH,. Methane is a gas and is the principal ingredient in the mixture of gases known as natural gas. The next compound is this series is ethane, whose molecular formula is C,H,. It is also a gas present in natural gas, although in a much lower percentage than methane. The difference in the molecular formulas of methane and ethane is one carbon and two hydrogen atoms. Propane is the next hydrocarbon in this series, and its molecular formula is C,H, which is one carbon and two hydrogen atoms different from ethane. Propane is an easily liquified gas which is used as fuel. The next hydrocarbon in the series is butane, another rather easily liquified gas used as a fuel. Together, butane and propane are known as the LP (liquified petroleum) gases. Butane's molecular formula is C4H10,which is CH, bigger than propane. Hence, the series begins with a one-carbon-atom compound, methane, and proceeds to add one carbon atom to the chain for each succeeding compound. Since carbon will form four convalent bonds, it must also add two hydrogen atoms to satis@ those two unpaired electrons and allow carbon to satisfy the octet rule, thus achieving eight electrons in the outer ring. In every hydrocarbon, whether saturated or unsaturated, all atoms must reach stability. There are only two elements involved in a hydrocarbon, hydrogen and carbon; hydrogen must have two electrons in the outer ring, and carbon must have eight electrons in the outer ring. Since the carbon-hydrogen bond is always single, the rest of the bonds must be carbon-carbon, and these bonds must be single, double, or triple, depending on the compound. Continuing in the alkane series (also called the paraffin series because the first solid hydrocarbon in the series is paraffin, or candle wax), the next compound is pentane. This name is derived from the Greek word penta, for five. As its name implies, it has five carbon atoms, and its molecular formula is C,H,, .

From pentane on, the Greek prefix for the numbers five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and so on are used to name the alkanes, the Greek prefix corresponding to the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. The first four members of the alkane series do not use the Greek prefix method of naming, simply because their common names are so universally accepted: thus the names methane, ethane, propane, and butane. The next six alkanes are named pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane. Their molecular fOrmUlaS are C5H12,C6H14,C7H16,C8H18,C,H,, and C,&,. The alkanes do not stop at the ten-carbon chain however. Since these first ten represent flammable gases and liquids and most of the derivatives of these compounds comprise the vast majority of hazardous materials encountered, we have no need to go any further in the series. The general formula for the alkanes is C,H,+,. The letter n stands for the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. The number of hydrogen atoms then becomes two more than twice the number of carbon atoms. Since there is more than one analogous series of hydrocarbons, you must remember that each series is unique; the alkanes are defined as the analogous series of saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2. 1. Isomers

Within each analogous series of hydrocarbons there exist isomers of the compounds within that series. An isomer is defined as a compound with the m e molecular formula as another compound but with a different structural formula. In other words, if there is a different way in which the carbon atoms can align themselves in the molecule, a different compound with different properties will exist. &ginning with the fourth alkane, butane, we find we can draw a structural formula of a compound with four atoms and ten hydrogen atoms in two ways; the first is as the normal butane exists and the second is as shown in Figure 1, with the name isobutane. With isobutane, no matter how you count the carbon atoms in the longest chain, you will always end with three. Notice that the structural formula is different - one carbon atom attached to the other carbon atoms - while in butane (also called normal butane), the largest number of carbon atoms another carbon atom can be attached to is two. This fact does make a difference in certain properties of compounds. The molecular formulas of butane and isobutane are the same and, therefore, so are the molecular weights. However, there is a 38-degree difference in melting points, 20-degree difference in boiling points, and the 3 10-degree difference in ignition

Chapter 4

172

temperatures. The structure of the molecule clearly plays part in the properties of the compounds. With the fivecarbon alkane, pentane, there are three ways to draw the structural formula of this compound with five carbon atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms. The isomers of normal pentane are isopentane and neopentane. The structural formulas of these compounds are shown in Figure 1, while typical properties are given in Table 1 . Note the three identical molecular formulas and three identical molecular weights, but significantly different melting, boiling, and flash points and different ignition temperatures. These property differences are referred to as the "structwal effect", i.e., differences in the properties of compounds exist for materials having the same molecular formulas but different structural arrangements. This particular structure effect is called the branching effect, and the isomers of all the straight-chain hydrocarbons are called branched hydrocarbons.

We may now state a very general rule of chemistry: the larger a molecule (that is, the greater the molecular weight), the greater affinity each molecule will have for each other molecule, therefore, slowing down the movement. The molecules, duly slowed from their frantic movement as gases, become liquids, and, as the molecules continue to get larger, they are further slowed from their still rapid movement as liquids and become solids.

There is another structural effect; it is produced simply by the length of the chain formed by consecutively attached carbon atoms. In noting the increasing length of the carbon chain from methane through decane, the difference in each succeeding alkane is that "unit" made up of one carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms; that "unit" is not a chemical compound itself, but it has a molecular weight of fourteen. Therefore, each succeeding alkane in the analogous series weighs fourteen atomic mass units more than the one before it and fourteen less than the one after it. This weight effect is the reason for the increasing melting and boiling points, the increasing flash points, and the decreasing ignition temperatures. The increasing weights of the compounds also account for the changes from the gaseous state of the first four alkanes, to the liquid state of the next thirteen alkanes, and finally to the solid state of the alkanes, starting with the 17-carbon atom alkane, heptadecane .

The straight-chain hydrocarbons represent just one group of straightchain hydrocarbons, the saturated hydrocarbons known as the alkanes. There are other series of hydrocarbons that are unsaturated; one of those is important in the study of hazardous materials. Additionally, the first hydrocarbon in another series is the only hydrocarbon important in that series. Each of these hydrocarbon series are briefly described below. 2. Alkenes

The series of unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain just one double bond in the structural formula of each of its members is the analogous series known as the alkenes. Notice that the name of the analogous series is similar to the analogous series of saturated hydrocarbons known as

the alkanes, but the structural formula is significantly different. Remembering that the definition of a saturated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon with nothing but single bonds in the structural formula and that an unsaturated hydrocarbon is a hydrogen-carbon with at least one multiple bond in the structural formula, then we would expect to find a multiple bond in the structural formulas of the alkenes. The names of all the hydrocarbons in this series end in ene. The corresponding names for this series of hydrocarbons is similar to the alkanes, with the only difference being the above-mentioned ending. Thus, in the alkene series ethane becomes ethene, propane is propene, butane is butene; the five-carbon straight-chain hydrocarbon in the alkene series is pentene, as opposed to pentane in the alkane series, and so on. Note that these compounds are covalently bonded compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon. The differences in their structural formulas are apparent; the alkanes have only single bonds in their structural formulas, while the alkenes have one (and only one) double bond in their structural formulas. There are different numbers of hydrogen atoms in the two analogous series. This difference is due to the octet rule that carbon must satisfy. Since one pair of carbon atoms shares a double bond, this

In any hydrocarbon compound, carbon will form four covalent bonds. In saturated hydrocarbons the four bonds will all be single bonds. The definition of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, however, is a hydrocarbon with at least one multiple bond, and the alkenes are an analogous series of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing just one double bond (which is a multiple bond). The double bond must be formed with another carbon atom since hydrogen atoms can form only single bonds and, in a hydrocarbon compounds there are no other elements but hydrogen and carbon. In forming a double bond with another carbon atom and to satisfy the octet rule, the alkene must form fewer bonds with hydrogen, resulting in less hydrogen in the structural formula of each alkene than in the corresponding alkane. There are two fewer hydrogen atoms in each of the alkenes than in the alkane with the same number of carbon atoms. This is also shown by the general molecular formula of the alkenes, CnH2,,, as opposed to the general molecular formula of the alkanes, which is C,1H2,1+2. Note that there is no one-carbon alkene corresponding to methane, since hydrogen can never form more than one covalent bond, and there is no other carbon atom in the structural formula. Therefore, the first compound in the alkene series is ethene, while the corresponding two-carbon compound in the alkane series, ethane, is the second compound in the series, with methane the first. Although the naming of the alkenes is the same as the alkanes, with only the ending changed from -ane to -ene, there is a problem with the names of the first three alkenes. The systematic names of hydrocarbons came a long while after the simplest (that is, the shortest chain) of the compounds in each series was known and named. In naming the alkanes, the system of using the Greek names for numbers as prefixes begins with pentane, rather than with methane. That situation occurred because methane, ethane, propane, and butane were known and named long before it was known that there was an almost infinite length to the chain that carbon could form and that a systematic naming procedure would be needed. Before the new system was adopted, the common names for the shortest-chain compounds had become so entrenched that those names survived unchanged. Therefore, not only are the first four compounds in the alkane series named differently from the rest of the series, the corresponding

Chapter 4

174

two-, three-, and fourcarbon compounds are not generally known as ethene, propene, and butene. Their common names are ethylene, propylene, and butylene. As noted earlier, more than one compound may have the

same molecular formula (isomers), but a structural formula is unique to one compound. In addition, there are many chemicals which possess more than one chemical name, for the same reason mentioned above. The most common organic chemicals are those that have the shortest carbon chains. This fact is also true of their derivatives. The inclusion of a double bond in the structural formula has a profound effect on the properties of a compound. Table 2 illustrates those differences through the properties of alkenes. The presence of a double bond (and, indeed, a triple bond) between two carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon increases the chemical activity of the compound tremendously over its corresponding saturated hydrocarbon. The smaller the molecule (that is, the shorter the chain), the more pronounced this activity is. A case in point is the unsaturated hydrocarbon ethylene. Disregarding the present the differences in combustion properties between it and ethane, ethylene is so chemically active that, under the proper conditions, instead of burning, polymerization, which, if it is uncontrolled, is a much more violent reaction than combustion. This tendency to polymerize is due to the presence of the double bond. The tendency to polymerize decreases as the molecule gets bigger (the chain is longer). Only the first four or five of the straight-chain hydrocarbons are important in the study of hazardous materials. Few, if any, of the isomers of the alkenes are common. There are other hydrocarbon compounds that contain multiple bonds, however, discussion here is limited to those compounds containingjust one multiple bond in their molecules. This is because the compounds containing just one multiple bond are the most valuable commercially and, therefore, the most common. There is, however, a simple way to recognize when you are dealing with a compound that may contain two double bonds; that is a name in which the Greek prefix "di-" is used. As example would be the compound butadiene. Recognize from the first part of the name ("buta-'I) that there are four carbon atoms in the chain, and that there is a double bond present (the ending k n e " ) , however, just before the -ene ending is the prefix "di-," meaning two. Therefore, recognize that you are dealing with a four-carbon hydrocarbon with two double bonds. As in the alkanes, it is possible for carbon atoms to align

themselves in different orders to form isomers. Not only

is it possible for the carbon atoms to form branches which produce isomers, but it is also possible for the double bond to be situated between different carbon atoms in different compounds. This differentposition of the double bond also results in different structural formulas, which, of course, are isomers. Just as in the alkanes, isomers of the alkenes have different properties. The unsaturated hydrocarbons and their derivatives are more active chemically than the saturated hydrocarbons and their derivatives. Table 2. l j p k a l Properties of Alkenes Compound

3. Alkynes

Another analogous series of unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain just one multiple bond, but, instead of being a double bond, it is a triple bond is the alkynes. The names of all the compounds end in -yne. The only compound in this series that is at all common happens to be an extremely hazardous material. It is a highly unstable (to heat, shock, and pressure), highly flammable gas that is the first compound in the series. This two-carbon unsaturated hydrocarbon with a triple bond between its two carbon atoms is called ethyne, and indeed this is its proper name. It is, however, known by its common name, acetylene. The -ene ending could be confusing, so one must memorize the fact that acetylene is an alkyne rather than an alkene. Its molecular formula is C,H,. The fact that it contains this triple bond makes it extremely active chemically, that is what is meant by its instability to heat, shock, and pressure. It takes energy to start a chemical reaction, and heat, shock, and pressure are forms of energy. The fact that the triple bond contains so much energy tied up in the structure means that it will release this energy, which is the input of some slight amount of external energy. When this input energy strikes the

Guide to Chemical Reactivity, Fire and Explosion

molecule of acetylene, the triple bond breaks, releasing the internal energy of the bonds. This produces either great amounts of heat or an explosion, depending on the way in which the external energy was applied. There are no other alkynes that are of commercial importance, and so acetylene will be the only member of this series that is considered in fire discussions. There are other alkynes, however, along with hydrocarbons that might have one double bond and a triple bond present in the molecule. 4. Straight-ChainHydrocarbon Nomenclature

The system for naming the straight-chain hydrocarbons is based on an agreed-upon method of retaining the first three or four common names, then using Greek prefixes that indicate the number of carbon atoms in the chain. For isomers, the same system is used, always using the name of the compound that is attached to the chain and the name of the chain. Recall the first analogous series of hydrocarbons the alkanes, a series of saturated hydrocarbons, all ending in -ane. For these hydrocarbons and other hydrocarbons to react, a place on the hydrocarbon chain must exist for the reaction to take place. Since all the bonds from carbon to hydrogen are already used, an "opening" on one of the carbon atoms must exist for it to be able to react with something else. This "opening" occurs when one of the hydrogen atoms is removed from its bond with a carbon atom, thus causing that carbon to revert back to a condition of instability, with seven electrons in its outer ring, or, as we now state, with one unpaired electron. This one unpaired electron (or half of a covalent bond, or "dangling" bond) wants to react with something, and it will, as soon as another particle which is ready to react is brought near. This chain of carbon atoms (from one carbon to another to another, and so on) with a hydrogen atom missing is a particle that was once a compound, and its name is a radical. Radicals are created by energy being applied to them in a chemical reaction or in a fire. Remember that a hydrocarbon compound with at least one hydrogen atom removed is no longer a compound, but a chemical particle known as a radical. Radicals have names of their own; they are derived from the name of the alkane. When a hydrogen atom is removed from the alkane hydrocarbon, the name is changed from -ane to -yl. Therefore, when a hydrogen is removed from the compound methane, the methyl radical is formed. When a hydrogen atom is

removed from the compound ethane, the ethyl radical is formed. In the same manner, the propyl radical comes from propane, the butyl radical comes from butane, and so on. Similarly, isobutane will produce the isobutyl radical, and isopentane will produce the isopentyl radical. A list of hydrocarbons and the radicals produced from them when a hydrogen is removed is shown is Table 3. Note that there are only a few radicals from compounds other than the alkanes which are important. Radicals are referred to as hydrocarbon "backbones". As an example, isobutane is more properly named methyl propane. Another isomer with a different proper name is isopentane , more properly called methyl butane. Neopentane is also named 2,2-dimethyl propane. Table 3. A Lktbtg of Common Radicals Methane

The following is a list of rules for proper nomenclature of the isomers and their derivatives. 1. Find the longest continuous chain and name it as if it were an alkane. 2. Name the side branches in the same manner. 3. Identify the number of the carbon atom on the longest chain to which the branch is attached by counting from the end of the chain nearest to the branch. 4. If it is possible that there could be any confusion as to which carbon atom is meant, put the number in front of the name of the compound, followed by a dash. 5 . If there is more than one branch, you must use the numbers to identify the carbon atom to which they are attached. 6. If the branches are identical, use the prefixes di- for two, tri- for three, tetra- for four, and so on. In this manner, the four isomers of hexane are named 2-methyl pentane, 3-methyl pentane, 2,2,-dimethyl butane , and 2,3-dimethyl butane.

5. Aromatic Hydrocarboru

The above discussions have concentrated on hydrocarbons, both saturated and unsaturated, with t h e unsaturated hydrocarbons containing onfy ofie multiple bond. The unsaturated hydrocarbons are the alkenes with one double bond 2nd the alkynes with one triple bond. There are other straightchah hydrocarbons that are unsaturated containing more than one multiple bond, som with more than one double bond, and some with a mixture of double bonds and triple b n d s . The combinations and permutations are endless, but there are only a few of the highly unstable materials.

benzene molecule to exist is illustrated in Figure 2B, in which a circle is drawn within the hexagonal sirucmral to show that the electrons that should form a series of alternating double bonds are really spread aniong all six carbon atoms. It is the only structiire possible that would explain the unique properties of benzene. This structural formula suggests resonance; that is, the possibility that the electrons represented by the circle are alternating back and forth between and among the six carbon atoms. H

Benzene's molecular formula is c&, but it does not behave like hexane, hexene, or any of their isomers. One would expect it to be similar to these other six-carbon hydrocarbons in its properties. Table 4 provides a coniparison between benzene, hexani and i -hexme. The table shows that there are major differences between benzene and the straight-chain hydrocarbons of the same carbon content. Hexene's ignition teniperature is very near to hexane's. The flash point difference is not great, however, there are significant differences in melting points. The expianatinn for these differences is structure; which in the case of benzene is a cyclical fomi with alternating doubie bonds. Table 4.

This particular hexagonai struct-ue is found throughout nature in many forms, almost always in a more complicated way, usually cmnected to many other "benzene rings" to form many exotic conipomds. Of importance to the immediate discussions are benzene and a few of its derivatives. Benzene's derivatives include tollzene and xylene, whose structural formulas are illustrated in Figure 3 along with that of benzene. Some typical properties are given in Table 5, which illustrates the differences caused by iiiolecular weight and structural formuias. There are other cyclical hydrocarbons, H

D. Hazard Information on Oxidizers, Organic Peroxides and Self Reacting Materials

Oxidhers and organic peroxides are Class 5 Hazards, and because of their inherent reactivity, and in some cases unstable nature, warrant special discussion. An oxidizer (Division 5.1) is a material that may, generally by yielding oxygen, c a w or enhance the combustion of other materials. A number of these chemicals are described in the previous subsection. A solid material is classed under USDOT regulations as a Division 5.1 material, if when tested, the mean burning time of the test mixture, is equal to or less than that of the average of the three tests with ammonium persulfate mixture. A liquid is classed as a Division 5.1 material by analogy to existing entries in the Hazard Materials Table of 49 CFR Parts 100 to 177, Section 172.101. An organic peroxide (Division 5.2) is any organic compound containing oxygen (0)in the bivalent -0-0structure which may be considered a derivative of hydrogen peroxide, where one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals. Division 5.2 organic peroxides are assigned to a generic system which is comprised of seven types according to US DOT regulations (refer to 49 CFR, Parts 100 to 177, Section 173.128). The US DOT definitions used are as follows: 0

0

0

Type A - Organic peroxide type A is an organic peroxide which can detonate or deflagrate rapidly. Type B - This is an organic peroxide which neither detonates nor deflagrates rapidly, but can undergo a thermal explosion. Type C - This is an organic peroxide which neither detonates nor deflagrates rapidly and cannot undergo thermal explosion.

0

0

0

0

Type D - This is an organic peroxide which (i) detonates only partially, but does not deflagrate rapidly and is not affected by heat when confined; (ii) does not detonate, deflagrates slowly, and shows no violent effect if heated when confined; or (iii) does not detonate or deflagrate, and shows a medium effect when heated under confinement. Type E - This is an organic peroxide which neither detonates nor deflagrates and shows low, or no effect when heated under confinement. Type F - Organic peroxide type F is an organic peroxide which will not detonate in a cavitated state, does not deflagrate, shows only a low, or no, effect if heated when confined, and has low, or no, explosive power. Type G - This is an organic peroxide which will not detonate in a cavitated state, will not deflagrate, shows no effect when heated under confinement, has no explosive power, is thermally stable (self-accelerating decomposition temperature > 60°C (140”F)), and, for desensitized liquid formulations, is desensitized with a compatible organic liquid which boils above 150°C (300°F).

An organic peroxide is assigned to a generic type based on

(i) its physical state (i.e., liquid or solid), (ii) a determination as to its control temperature and emergency temperature, and (iii) by its performance under test procedures specified in the United Nations Recommendationson the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Tests and Criteria, Part III. Table 17 provides a list of organic peroxides that are regulated and cited under 49 CFR. The table contains the following entries of information: column I: Technical Name - This column provides the technical name of the chemical: column 2: ID Number - The second column specifies the identification (ID) number (i.e., 4digit shipping number) used to identify the proper shipping name; column 3: Concentrution - This column specifies concentration (mass percent) limitations, if any, in mixtures or solutions for the organic peroxide in shipping. Limitations are given as minimums, maximums, or a range, as appropriate. A range includes the lower and upper limits (Le., “53-95” means from, and including, 53 percent to, and including 95 percent); colwnn 4: Diluent - This column specifies the type and concentration (in mass percent) of diluent or inert solid, when required. The required mass percent of “Diluent type A” is specified in the first subcolumn . A diluent type A is an organic liquid that does not detrimentally affect the thermal stability or increase the hazard of the organic peroxide and with a boiling point of less than 150°C at atmospheric pressure. Type A diluents

Guide to Chemical Reactivity, Fire and Explosion

389

may be used for desensitizing all organic geroxides. The required mass percent of “Diluent type B” is specified in the second subcolumn. A diluent type B is an organic liquid that does not detrimentally affect the thermal stability or increase the hazard of the organic peroxide, and which has a normal boiling point of less than 150°C but at least 60OC. and a flash point greater than 5°C. A Type B diluent may only be used for the desensitizing of an organic peroxide for which it is specified in Table 17. The boiling point of a type B diluent must be at least 50°C above the control temperature of the organic peroxide. A

diluent in equal concentration. The third subcolumn (indicated by “I,*) is the required mass percent of “Inert solid”. An inert solid is a solid that does not detrimentally affect the thermal stability or increase the hazard of the organic peroxide; colwnrz 5: Water - This column provides the concentration of water, in mass percent, which is the minimum amount of water (if any) which must be in the formulation for safe handling; column 6: Temperatures The two subcolunins provide the control temperature and the emergency temperature for the chemical. Temperatures are specified only for those cases where temperature

EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACT SHEETS abbreviation n.0.s. is used. This stands for not otherwise specified, which refers to the fact that this material is not assigned a hazard class according to the U.S. Department of Transportation shipping regulations. The reader may refer to the author’s book for a detailed explanation of the hazardous materials transportation laws in the United States (Cheremkinoff, N. P. , Transportationof Hazardous Materials: A Guide to Compliance, Noyes Publications, Westwood, New Jersey, 1994).

1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter conies directly from the U.S. Departnient of Transportation’s Emergency Response Guidebook, and is therefore niost beneficial to first responders or the On-theScene (OSC) coordinator of a hazardous materials incident. There are three sections to the chapter. The first section provides an alphabetical listing of chemicals that are regulated by tlie DOT, along with tlie 4-digit shipping iiurnber designation, and a reference number referring the reader to an Eniergency Response Guide or fact sheet. The second section contains the same list of chemicals, but they are listed chronologically, in accordance with their 4digit shipping number designation. Hence, from either the shipping number designation, or the commoii shipping name, the chemical’s emergency response fact sheet can be identified. The last section, containing the Emergency Response Fact Sheets, contains descriptive inforniation on emergency response actions for spills or fires involving the chemical. Many of the recommendations are general, and the reader should cross reference the chemical specific information provided in Chapters 4 and 5 for properties and niore detailed responses under emergelicy situations, as well as health effects from overexposure to a particular chemical. The present chapter should also be used in conjunction with Chapter 7, which is also extracted from the U .S. Department of Transportation’s Emergency Response Guidebook. Chapter 7 contains reconimended initial isolation distances for chemicals involved in spills. Those cheniicals listed in the tables of this chapter that are highlighted by boldface print, denote chemicals that should be approached with special caution, and have isolation distances that can be found in Chapter 7 . A detailed explanation of the isolation distance can be fowid in tlie next chapter. Note that in some of the chemical shipping name designations provided in this chapter, the

The inforniation in this chapter is designed priniarily for

use by firefighters and hazardous materials specialists that are trained as Level I1 emergency responders. Transporters, in particular the carrier, should be well versed with the placarding requireinents and shouId understand all information included on shipping papers. Although it is not the role of tlie carrier to respond to a hazardous niaterials incident, it is his responsibility to have the necessary information available for the OSC and emergency responders. This should include Packing Group designations for the chemicals in transport. The definitions for Packing Groups (PGs) are provided in Chapter 1. II. ALPHABETICAL LISTING OF CHEMICALS

From the Fact Sheet Guide number, the reader can obtain fire hazard and emergency response information on a specific cliemical by matching tlie number with fact sheets at the end of this chapter. Those chemicals in the table which are boldfaced represent materials that require an initial isolation distance when involved in a spill or leak. Information and LQideliiies on isolation distances can be found in Chapter 7.

IV. EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACT SHEETS

The following are Guides on the potential hazards and emergency response actions for a generic class of chenlicals. The Guide number (recommended by the U.S. Department of Transportation) corresponds to the chemicals listed in the previous sections. For example, if we were dealing with the chemical Zirconium Sulfate (UN designation 9163), the chemical's fact sheet is Guide number 3 1. which provides appropriate emergency response information. GUIDE 11 POTENTIAL HAZARDS Fire or Explosion Hazards Flammable/combustible material; may be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May ignite other combustible materials (wood, paper, oil, etc.). Container may explode in heat or fire. Reaction with fuels may be violent. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Health Hazards May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water inay cause pollution. EMERGENCY ACTION Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry.

Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and structural firefighters' protective clothing will provide limited protection. If water pollution occurs, notify the appropriate authorities. Fire Sinallfires: dry chemical, CO,, water spray or regular foam. Large fires: water spray, fog or regular foam. Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Apply cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. Stay away from ends of tanks. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Spill or leak Shut off ignition sources; no flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Sinall spills: take up with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal. Large spills: dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. First aid Move victim to fresh air and call emergency medical care; if not breathing, give artificial respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact with material, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. GUIDE 12 POTENTIAL HAZARDS Fire or Explosion Hazards Some of these materials may bum, but none of them ignites readily. Cylinder may explode in heat or fire. Health Hazards Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Contact with liquid may cause frostbite.

Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases. EMERGENCY ACTION Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and structural firefighters' protective clothing will provide limited protection. Isolate for lh mile in all directions if tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in fire. Fire Sinallfires: Dry chemical or CO,. Large fires: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Apply cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. Stay away from ends of tanks. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tank due to fire. Some of these materials, if spilled, may evaporate leaving a flammable residue Spill or leak Stop leak if you can do it without risk. First aid Move victim to fresh air and call emergency medical care; if not breathing, give artificial respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen. GUIDE 13 POTENTIAL HAZARDS Health Hazards Poison: extremely hazardous. May be fatal if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Initial odor may be irritating, foul or absent and may deaden your sense of smell. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Fire or Explosion Some of these materials are extremely flammable. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Cylinder may explode in heat or fire. Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. EMERGENCY ACTION Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind, out of low areas, and ventilate closed spaces

Emergency Response Fact Sheets

before entering. Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and chemical protective clothing which is specifically recommended by the shipper or manufacturer may be worn. It may provide little or no thermal protection. Structural firefighters' protective clothing is not effective for these materials. Isolate the leak or spill area immediately for at least 150 feet in all directions. See Chapter 7 which provides information on Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances. If you find the ID Number and the name of the material there, begin protective action. Isolate for 'h mile in all directions if tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in fire. Fire Small fires: Let bum unless leak can be stopped immediately. Large fires: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tank due to fire. Cool container with water using unmanned device until well after fire is out. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Hydrogen Cyanide Fires: Let bum unless leak can be stopped immediately. Spill or leak Do not touch or walk through spilled material; stop leak if you can do it without risk. Shut off ignition sources; no flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Use water spray to reduce vapor; do not put water directly on leak or spill area. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. For hydrogen cyanide, consider igniting spill or leak to eliminate toxic gas concerns. First aid Move victim to fresh air and call emergency medical care; if not breathing, give artificial respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In case of contact with material, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects may be delayed; keep victim under observation.
