Excerpt
Excerpt: The polymers used in plastics are generally harmless. However, they are rarely used in pure form. In almost all commercial plastics, they are compounded with monvmeric additives to improve their processabilty and to modify their end-use properties and product performance. Some limited information is already available on the health hazards which may be involved in their use. Much more information is needed to insure worker safety in manufacturing operations. As a guide to industrial health scientists working in this field, the monomeric additives used in plastics manufacturing are classified here, in approximate order of total volume now in use in the United States.
