unnecessary personnel. Firefighters should wear a full set of protective
clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires involving
hexachloronaphthalene.
EXPOSURE LIMITS
* OSHA PEL
The current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
permissible exposure limit (PEL) for hexachloronaphthalene is 0.2 milligrams
per cubic meter (mg/m(3)) of air as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA)
concentration. The OSHA PEL also bears a "Skin" notation, which indicates
that the cutaneous route of exposure (including mucous membranes and eyes)
contributes to overall exposure [29 CFR 1910.1000, Table Z-1].
* NIOSH REL
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
has established a recommended exposure limit (REL) for hexachloronaphthalene
of 0.2 mg/m(3) as a TWA for up to a 10-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek.
NIOSH also assigns a "Skin" notation to hexachloronaphthalene [NIOSH
1992].
* ACGIH TLV
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH) has assigned hexachloronaphthalene a threshold limit value (TLV) of
0.2 mg/m(3)) as a TWA for a normal 8-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek.
The ACGIH also assigns a "Skin" notation to hexachloronaphthalene [ACGIH
1994, p. 23].
* Rationale for Limits
The NIOSH limit is based on the risk of toxic effects to the liver
and skin [NIOSH 1992].
The ACGIH limit is based on the risk of toxic effects to the liver
and skin [ACGIH 1991, p. 745].
HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
* Routes of Exposure
Exposure to hexachloronaphthalene can occur through inhalation,
ingestion, eye or skin contact, and absorption through the skin, eyes, and
mucous membranes [Sittig 1991, p. 879].
* Summary of toxicology
1. Effects on Animals: Ingestion of hexachloronaphthalene or inhalation
of its vapors causes severe liver injury, which is characterized as acute
yellow atrophy or subacute necrosis [Clayton and Clayton 1982; Parmeggiani
1983]. Rats exposed daily to the vapors of a mixture of penta- and
hexachloronaphthalene at an average concentration of 1.16 mg/m(3) exhibited
definite liver injury; at a concentration of 8.88 mg/m(3), there was some
mortality, poor growth, and severe liver injury (jaundice, marked fatty
degeneration, and centrilobular necrosis) [Clayton and Clayton 1982; Hathaway
et al. 1991]. Rats fed a mixture of penta- and hexachloronaphthalene for one
month at a dose of 3 g/day had a mortality rate of 90 percent; all animals
became ill and experienced weight loss and serious liver damage. When a
mixture of tetra- and hexachloronaphthalene was administered to rats in a
dietary dose of 0.5 mg/day for 2 months, some sickness, some mortality, and
definite liver injury were observed [Clayton and Clayton 1982]. Repeated
ingestion of hexachloronaphthalene produced hyperkeratosis of the skin as
well as liver injury and other systemic effects in cattle. However, because
tissues of the mouth, cheek, and neck were also affected, it is suspected
that some chloronaphthalenes may act by direct contact with the mouth and
skin [Clayton and Clayton 1982]. The dermal LD(50) for rabbits is 32,000
mg/kg [ACGIH 1991]. Application to the rabbit skin produced epithelial
hyperplasia, followed by inflammatory and degenerative changes, and, finally,
regenerative processes [Clayton and Clayton 1982].
2. Effects on Humans: In humans, hexachloronaphthalene is a hepatotoxin
and a chloracnegen. Repeated exposure to airborne concentrations of between
1 and 2 mg/m(3) mixed penta- and hexachloronaphthalene produced fatalities
from acute yellow atrophy of the liver; other workers experienced jaundice,
nausea, indigestion, and weight loss [Hathaway et al. 1991; ACGIH 1991]. The
most commonly observed problem from the occupational use and handling of the
chlorinated naphthalenes is chloracne, which usually occurs as a result of
long-term contact with hexachloronaphthalene, or of much shorter contact of
the skin with the hot vapor. The chloracne is usually slow to appear, and
normalcy may not return for months [Clayton and Clayton 1982; Hathaway et al.
1991]. All chloronaphthalenes are capable of being absorbed through the
intact skin, and they have a photosensitizing action dermally [Parmeggiani
1983].
* Signs and symptoms of exposure
1. Acute exposure: Acute exposure to hexachloronaphthalene causes
pruritus, eye irritation, headache, fatigue, vertigo, and nausea [Parmeggiani
1983].
2. Chronic exposure: Chronic exposure to hexachloronaphthalene can cause
an enlarged liver and acne-form lesions on the face, ears, neck, shoulders,
arms, chest, abdomen, and scrotum. Jaundice, nausea, indigestion, and weight
loss are also symptoms of hexachloronaphthalene poisoning [Parmeggiani 1983;
Hathaway et al. 1991].
EMERGENCY MEDICAL PROCEDURES
* Emergency medical procedures: [NIOSH to supply]
5. Rescue: Remove an incapacitated worker from further exposure and
implement appropriate emergency procedures (e.g., those listed on the
Material Safety Data Sheet required by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard
[29 CFR 1910.1200]). All workers should be familiar with emergency
procedures, the location and proper use of emergency equipment, and methods
of protecting themselves during rescue operations.
EXPOSURE SOURCES AND CONTROL METHODS
The following operations may involve hexachloronaphthalene and lead to
worker exposures to this substance:
* The manufacture and transportation of hexachloronaphthalene * Use in
manufacture (pouring, dipping and peeling) of electric wire, cables, and
equipment to be used as insulating material * Use as an additive in
cutting oils and extreme-pressure lubricants * Used as supports for
storage batteries; as a coating in foundry use; in production of electric condensers
Methods that are effective in controlling worker exposures to
hexachloronaphthalene, depending on the feasibility of implementation, are as
follows:
* Process enclosure * Local exhaust ventilation * General dilution
ventilation * Personal protective equipment
Workers responding to a release or potential release of a hazardous
substance must be protected as required by paragraph (q) of OSHA's Hazardous
Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard [29 CFR 1910.120].

MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE
OSHA is currently developing requirements for medical surveillance. When
these requirements are promulgated, readers should refer to them for
additional information and to determine whether employers whose employees are
exposed to hexachloronaphthalene are required to implement medical
surveillance procedures.
* Medical Screening
Workers who may be exposed to chemical hazards should be monitored
in a systematic program of medical surveillance that is intended to prevent
occupational injury and disease. The program should include education of
employers and workers about work-related hazards, early detection of adverse
health effects, and referral of workers for diagnosis and treatment. The
occurrence of disease or other work-related adverse health effects should
prompt immediate evaluation of primary preventive measures (e.g., industrial
hygiene monitoring, engineering controls, and personal protective equipment).
A medical surveillance program is intended to supplement, not replace, such
measures. To detect and control work-related health effects, medical
evaluations should be performed (1) before job placement, (2) periodically
during the term of employment, and (3) at the time of job transfer or
termination.
* Preplacement medical evaluation
Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to
hexachloronaphthalene, a licensed health care professional should evaluate
and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical,
environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and
physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational
risks. These should concentrate on the function and integrity of the skin
and liver.
A preplacement medical evaluation is recommended to assess medical
conditions that may be aggravated or may result in increased risk when a
worker is exposed to hexachloronaphthalene at or below the prescribed
exposure limit. The health care professional should consider the probable
frequency, intensity, and duration of exposure as well as the nature and
degree of any applicable medical condition. Such conditions (which should not
be regarded as absolute contraindications to job placement) include a history
and other findings consistent with diseases of the skin and liver.
* Periodic medical evaluations
Occupational health interviews and physical examinations should be
performed at regular intervals during the employment period, as mandated by
any applicable Federal, State, or local standard. Where no standard exists
and the hazard is minimal, evaluations should be conducted every 3 to 5 years
or as frequently as recommended by an experienced occupational health
physician. Additional examinations may be necessary if a worker develops
symptoms attributable to hexachloronaphthalene exposure. The interviews,
examinations, and medical screening tests should focus on identifying the
adverse effects of hexachloronaphthalene on the skin or liver. Current
health status should be compared with the baseline health status of the
individual worker or with expected values for a suitable reference
population.
* Termination medical evaluations
The medical, environmental, and occupational history interviews, the
physical examination, and selected physiologic or laboratory tests that were
conducted at the time of placement should be repeated at the time of job
transfer or termination to determine the worker's medical status at the end
of his or her employment. Any changes in the worker's health status should
be compared with those expected for a suitable reference
population.
* Biological monitoring
Biological monitoring involves sampling and analyzing body tissues
or fluids to provide an index of exposure to a toxic substance or metabolite.
No biological monitoring test acceptable for routine use has yet been
developed for hexachloronaphthalene.
WORKPLACE MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT
Determination of a worker's exposure to airborne hexachloronaphthalene is
made using a mixed cellulose ester filter (MCEF) 0.8 microns. Samples are
collected at a maximum flow rate of 1 liter/minute until a maximum collection
volume of 30 liters is reached. Analysis is conducted by gas chromatography
using an electron capture detector (GC/ECD). This method is fully validated
and is described in the OSHA Computerized Information System [OSHA 1994].
PERSONAL HYGIENE PROCEDURES
If hexachloronaphthalene contacts the skin, workers should immediately wash
the affected areas with soap and water.
Clothing contaminated with hexachloronaphthalene should be removed
immediately, and provisions should be made for the safe removal of the
chemical from the clothing. Persons laundering the clothes should be
informed of the hazardous properties of hexachloronaphthalene.
A worker who handles hexachloronaphthalene should thoroughly wash hands,
forearms, and face with soap and water before eating, using tobacco products,
using toilet facilities, applying cosmetics, or taking medication.
Workers should not eat, drink, use tobacco products, apply cosmetics, or
take medication in areas where hexachloronaphthalene or a solution containing
hexachloronaphthalene is handled, processed, or stored.
STORAGE
Hexachloronaphthalene should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
in tightly sealed containers that are labeled in accordance with OSHA's
Hazard Communication Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200]. Containers of
hexachloronaphthalene should be protected from physical damage and contact
with acid fumes, and should be stored separately from strong oxidizing agents
or acids.
SPILLS AND LEAKS
In the event of a spill or leak involving hexachloronaphthalene, persons not
wearing protective equipment and full-encapsulating, vapor-protective
clothing should be restricted from contaminated areas until cleanup has been
completed. The following steps should be undertaken following a spill or
leak:
1. Notify safety personnel, isolate area, and stay upwind.
2. Ventilate atmosphere to reduce concentration.
3. For small dry spills, use a clean shovel and place the material into a
clean, dry container; cover and remove the container from the spill area.
Wet mopping or vacuuming (with appropriate filter) may minimize dust
generation.
4. For small liquid spills, take up with sand, earth, vermiculite or other
noncombustible absorbent material and place into closed containers for later
disposal.
5. For large liquid spills, build dikes far ahead of the spill to contain
the hexachloronaphthalene for later reclamation or disposal.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements for emergency
planning, reportable quantities of hazardous releases, community
right-to-know, and hazardous waste management may change over time. Users are
therefore advised to determine periodically whether new information is
available.
* Emergency planning requirements
Hexachloronaphthalene is not subject to EPA emergency planning
requirements under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
(Title III) in 42 USC 11022.
* Reportable quantity requirements for hazardous releases
A hazardous substance release is defined by EPA as any spilling,
leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting,
escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment (including the
abandonment or discarding of contaminated containers) of hazardous
substances. In the event of a release that is above the reportable quantity
for that chemical, employers are required to notify the proper Federal,
State, and local authorities [40 CFR 355.40].
Employers are not required by the emergency release notification
provisions in 40 CFR Part 355.40 to notify the National Response Center of an
accidental release of hexachloronaphthalene; there is no reportable quantity
for this substance.
* Community right-to-know requirements
Employers who own or operate facilities in SIC codes 20 to 39 that
employ 10 or more workers and that manufacture 25,000 pounds or more of
hexachloronaphthalene per calendar year or otherwise use 10,000 pounds or
more of hexachloronaphthalene per calendar year are required by EPA [40 CFR
Part 372.30] to submit a Toxic Chemical Release Inventory form (Form R) to
EPA reporting the amount of hexachloronaphthalene emitted or released from
their facility annually.
* Hazardous waste management requirements
EPA considers a waste to be hazardous if it exhibits any of the
following characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or
toxicity as defined in 40 CFR 261.21-261.24. Under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) [40 USC 6901 et seq.], EPA has specifically listed
many chemical wastes as hazardous. Although hexachloronaphthalene is not
specifically listed as a hazardous waste under RCRA, EPA requires employers
to treat waste as hazardous if it exhibits any of the characteristics
discussed above.
Providing detailed information about the removal and disposal of
specific chemicals is beyond the scope of this guideline. The U.S.
Department of Transportation, EPA, and State and local regulations should be
followed to ensure that removal, transport, and disposal of this substance
are conducted in accordance with existing regulations. To be certain that
chemical waste disposal meets EPA regulatory requirements, employers should
address any questions to the RCRA hotline at (703) 412-9810 (in the
Washington, D.C. area) or toll-free at (800) 424-9346 (outside Washington,
D.C.). In addition, relevant State and local authorities should be contacted
for information on any requirements they may have for the waste removal and
disposal of this substance.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
* Conditions for respirator use
Good industrial hygiene practice requires that engineering controls
be used where feasible to reduce workplace concentrations of hazardous
materials to the prescribed exposure limit. However, some situations may
require the use of respirators to control exposure. Respirators must be worn
if the ambient concentration of hexachloronaphthalene exceeds prescribed
exposure limits. Respirators may be used (1) before engineering controls
have been installed, (2) during work operations such as maintenance or repair
activities that involve unknown exposures, (3) during operations that require
entry into tanks or closed vessels, and (4) during emergencies. Workers
should only use respirators that have been approved by NIOSH and the Mine
Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
* Respiratory protection program
Employers should institute a complete respiratory protection program
that, at a minimum, complies with the requirements of OSHA's Respiratory
Protection Standard [29 CFR 1910.134]. Such a program must include
respirator selection, an evaluation of the worker's ability to perform the
work while wearing a respirator, the regular training of personnel,
respirator fit testing, periodic workplace monitoring, and regular respirator
maintenance, inspection, and cleaning. The implementation of an adequate
respiratory protection program (including selection of the correct
respirator) requires that a knowledgeable person be in charge of the program
and that the program be evaluated regularly. For additional information on
the selection and use of respirators and on the medical screening of
respirator users, consult the latest edition of the NIOSH Respirator Decision
Logic [NIOSH 1987b] and the NIOSH Guide to Industrial Respiratory Protection
[NIOSH 1987a].
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Workers should use appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment
that must be carefully selected, used, and maintained to be effective in
preventing skin contact with hexachloronaphthalene. The selection of the
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g., gloves, sleeves,
encapsulating suits) should be based on the extent of the worker's potential
exposure to hexachloronaphthalene. There are no published reports on the
resistance of various materials to permeation by hexachloronaphthalene.
To evaluate the use of PPE materials with hexachloronaphthalene, users
should consult the best available performance data and manufacturers'
recommendations. Significant differences have been demonstrated in the
chemical resistance of generically similar PPE materials (e.g., butyl)
produced by different manufacturers. In addition, the chemical resistance of
a mixture may be significantly different from that of any of its neat
components.
Any chemical-resistant clothing that is used should be periodically
evaluated to determine its effectiveness in preventing dermal contact. Safety
showers and eye wash stations should be located close to operations that
involve hexachloronaphthalene.
Splash-proof chemical safety goggles or face shields (20 to 30 cm long,
minimum) should be worn during any operation in which a solvent, caustic, or
other toxic substance may be splashed into the eyes.
In addition to the possible need for wearing protective outer apparel (e.g.,
aprons, encapsulating suits), workers should wear work uniforms, coveralls,
or similar full-body coverings that are laundered each day. Employers should
provide lockers or other closed areas to store work and street clothing
separately. Employers should collect work clothing at the end of each work
shift and provide for its laundering. Laundry personnel should be informed
about the potential hazards of handling contaminated clothing and instructed
about measures to minimize their health risk.
Protective clothing should be kept free of oil and grease and should be
inspected and maintained regularly to preserve its effectiveness.
Protective clothing may interfere with the body's heat dissipation,
especially during hot weather or during work in hot or poorly ventilated work
environments.
