Inhalation exposure to 1,3-dichloropropene in the Dutch flower-bulb culture. Part I. Environmental monitoring
article
Respiratory occupational exposure to the Z- and E-isomers of 1,3-dichloropropene (DCP) of twelve commercial applicators was assessed. The time-weighted average (TWA) concentrations of DCP ranged from 1.9 to 18.9 mg/m3. On 30% of the observed working days the Dutch occupational exposure limit of 5 mg/m3 was exceeded. Short-term exposure levels during tank-loading and repair were up to 30 mg/m3. Emission of dichloropropene during the injection process has a major impact on the TWA concentration. Modification of the injection system may reduce the concentration of DCP substantially.
