Abstract |
A 6-day survey was conducted in the Niagara Falls area to determine the concentration of vinyl chloride in the atmosphere. Samples were obtained in a residential area adjacent to the chemical plants where vinyl chloride emissions were suspected, in areas around the plants, and in other areas of Niagara Falls. The highest concentration of vinyl chloride measured was 40 ppb for a 5-hour integrated sample observed at a residential area two blocks east of a vinyl chloride polymerization plant. Grab samples taken downwind of chemical plants exhibited a high of 28 ppb. Samples taken from downtown Niagara Falls and upwind north of the chemical plants contained no detectable vinyl chloride. The areas surrounding the chemical plants, including the adjacent residential areas, are also affected by emissions into the atmosphere of chlorine and other halogenated compounds as exhibited by the deterioration of metal surfaces, particularly aluminum windows and doors. |
