Evaluation of employee exposure to organic tin compounds used as stabilizers at PVC processing facilities / Carol Boraiko and John Batt

Organic tin compounds are primary substances used as heat stabilizers by the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) industry. The use of these compounds in the PVC industry is generally well controlled, usually by automated processes. This study was conducted to provide an overview of worker exposure to organic tin compounds at PVC processing facilities and to verify that these exposure are below the threshold limit value (TLV) set by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists for arganic tin
