In response to a request received from a representative of employees, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted a health hazard survey to evaluate Polytek dust in packaging operations at PPG Industries, Inc. in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Based upon results of environmental and medical investigations, it has been determined that salicylic acid, a component in Polytek dust, is toxic at the concentration used or found, causing the acute symptoms of irritation to eyes, nose and throat of workers exposed in glass packaging operations. Recommendations have been suggested to management to observed hazards to 200 affected employees.
