| 摘要： | On February 6, 2004, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a health hazard evaluation (HHE) request from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach, Florida. The HHE request concerned health hazards from exposure to contaminants found in exhaust emissions of tug and jet engines and noise from tugs, jets, conveyor systems, and baggage carousels in the checked baggage screening area. The request also described ergonomic hazards and heat stress as potential workplace hazards. These latter hazards will be addressed in a separate evaluation. Reported health problems included allergies, respiratory distress, repetitive stress injuries, back injuries, possible hearing loss, and dehydration due to heat. An initial site visit was made on March 24, 2004. On April 17-18, 2004, NIOSH investigators conducted area and personal breathing zone (PBZ) air samples for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitric oxide (NO), diesel exhaust particulate (measured as elemental carbon (EC)), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Full-shift personal noise monitoring was also conducted. Concentrations of EC, a surrogate for diesel exhaust, ranged from below the minimum detectable concentration (MDC) to 11.2 micrograms per cubic meter (micro g/m3). There is no NIOSH evaluation criteria for EC, although the California Department of Health Services recommends keeping levels below 20 micro g/m3. PBZ concentrations of NO2 and NO were below the limit of detection of 2 mg/sample. Similar nondetectable NO2 results were obtained from real time personal exposure monitors (full-shift and 15-minute short-term exposures). |
