In response to EPA concerns regarding workplace exposures, the sponsoring companies gathered IH to develop a sampling and analytical strategy for these alkanes. Working with a certified Industrial Hygiene Laboratory the analytical method and sampling strategy was agreed to. The companies did workplace exposure monitoring and collected the data for a joint submittal to EPA. Monitoring results showed exposures to be below 0.2 ppm.

After reviewing the data EPA was satisfied that there was no additional information needed to demonstrate low exposure potential and no additional toxicity testing was requested.

This result demonstrates the value of exposure assessment and IH involvement in “voluntary” agency‐sponsored PS initiatives. Information on VCCEP and this example can be found on the USEPA website at https://chemview.epa.gov/chemview.
