Safe demolition and disposal of a redundant alkyl lead storage tank / R.J. Sherwood

Sumario: Unlike inorganic lead, lead alkyls are highly volatile and are rapidly absorbed by the human body through lungs and skin. Acute poisoning can occur after only short exposure in a confined space, so there is a potentially high risk of poisoning when workers enter any tank that has been used for storage of alkyl lead or leaded gasoline. The contribution of an operational industrial hygienist to the safe demolition of a large storage tank and associated equipment for blending lead alkyl into gasoline is described
