In response to a request which indicated employees were experiencing eye, nose and throat irritation, allergy symptoms, and fatigue, an investigation was begun into possible hazardous working conditions at the Veterans Administration (SIC-8733) facility located at White River Junction, Vermont. Twelve general area air samples were taken for morpholine (110918) and cyclohexylamine (108918), two anticorrosion chemicals used in the boilers which provided steam humidification to the occupied areas. Very low levels of formaldehyde (50000) were also detected in the area air samples from the research laboratories. The authors recommend that the direct injection of boiler condensate for humidification be discontinued.
