CHEMICAL HAZARDS <br /> The possible major contaminants to be encountered on the project are Petroleum <br /> Hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is not anticipated that VOC <br /> emissions in the direct breathing zone of personnel working around the monitoring wells or <br /> borings will be higher than background levels. <br /> Inhalation and dermal (absorption) hazards are the major area of concern, regarding the <br /> exposure to VOCs. Results of toxicologica studies on animal exposure to pure <br /> concentrations of the VOCs that have been detec ed at the site are detailed in Handbook of <br /> Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals, by M. Sittig (1981), and Dangerous Properties of <br /> Industrial Materials, by N. Irving Sax (1984). An additional reference source used for the <br /> development of this Site Safety Plan is the Documentation of the Threshold Limit Values, <br /> published by the ACGIH (American Conferenc of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, <br /> Inc.). <br /> 2 <br />
