Quest for a gasoline TLV.

H J McDermott, S E Killiany

    American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal
    |February 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Gasoline vapor from tank trucks contains hydrocarbons. A mean Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 300 ppm was calculated for these mixtures, with safe exposure levels estimated for compounds lacking a TLV.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Chemistry
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Gasoline vapor exposure during tank truck loading poses occupational risks.
    • Understanding the composition of gasoline vapor is crucial for safety assessments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify major components in gasoline vapor from tank truck loading.
    • To calculate a mean Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for gasoline vapor mixtures.
    • To estimate safe exposure levels for compounds lacking a TLV and assess additive levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 95 distinct gasoline vapor samples.
    • Calculation of a mean TLV using 1976 TLVs for individual hydrocarbons.
    • Estimation of safe exposure values for compounds without an assigned TLV.
    • Estimation of maximum levels for specific gasoline additives.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of major hydrocarbon components in gasoline vapor.
    • A calculated mean TLV for gasoline vapor mixtures of approximately 300 ppm.
    • Estimated safe exposure values for unassigned compounds and maximum additive levels.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides a comprehensive assessment of gasoline vapor composition and associated exposure risks.
    • The calculated mean TLV offers a guideline for occupational safety during tank truck loading.
    • Further research may be needed to refine exposure limits for specific additives.
