Dear Mr. Downs
ATTENTION: Jeff Vandel
Subject: Request for Indoor Air Sampling Plan at M-508 and Other Locations
Reference State Letter September 29, 2003 to ATK Thiokol Promontory
In the September 29, 2003 letter, your office requested a plan be submitted for collecting indoor
air samples for TCE to assess the potential health risks at building M-508 and also recommends
that other buildings be evaluated for sampling that may be near or within the ground water
contamination plume.
Since Thiokol submitted the original data for M-508 referenced in your letter, more information
has come to light on one of the adhesives routinely being used in the building. This formulation
called Chemlok 233, contains 35% TCE. It is used in the D5 program at a rate of approximately
one pint every other day per work week. With D5 being one of the main missile programs being
build at M-508, the Chemlok is used consistently. A copy of this MSDS is atlached to this letter.
Jeff Vandel and Chris Bittner from your office visited M-508 on October 23, 2003 and discussed
the use ofthe Chemlok with the manufacturing personnel.
During a phone call on October 28, 2003, Thiokol discussed various options for indoor air
monitoring with Jeff Vandel. We proposed that in place of sampling M-508, the investigation
efforts be focused on another building in the same area influenced by the same TCE groundwater
plume. This would avoid the confounding factor of TCE usage in M-508. Thiokol asks for
DSHW concurrence with this proposal, with the understanding that the specific building would
be approved by DSHW prior to any sampling.
Thiokol has also discussed with the DSHW what detection limit would need to be achieved with
the sampling in order to demonstrate the risk of indoor air concentrations resulting from the TCE
plume. The current NIOSH method 1022 for TCE monitoring, uses GC analysis and can achieve
a detection limit of approximately 0.1 ppm (assuming normal volumes of air are pulled through
the charcoal). Our understanding is that this detection limit can be potentially dropped one or
two orders of magnitude if the analytical method used is GC/ECD. Thiokol asks the DSHW for
concurrence that NIOSH method 1022 combined with GC/MS analysis is sufficient to determine
risk for indoor air exposure related to TCE levels resulting from the groundwater plume.
As on option to sampling, Thiokol is also currently investigating the use of the EPA Tier II
model that addresses indoor air concentrations to determine if this may be applicable to our
situation. Would the use of this model be acceptable to the Division in place of sampling?
Thiokol appreciates your consideration and approval of these options in our efforts characterize
potential indoor air risks related lo the contaminated plume.
If you have any questions regarding this repon, please direct them to John Holladay at (435)
863-6895 or myself at [phone].

allergic skin reaction. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Vapor harmful; may affect the brain or nervous
system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Causes skin and eye irritation. Causes respiratory tract
irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin sensitization. May cause dermatitis.
Causes skin irritation. Animal tests have indicated that respiratory sensitization can result from skin contact
with 4,4'-Diphenylmethane diisocyanate.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: Possible irritation of the respiratory system can occur
causing a variety of symptoms such as dryness of the throat, tightness of the chest, and shortness of breath.
Allergic conditions can occur in certain individuals with high sensitivity to isocyanates; this may result in
asthma-like symptoms. May cause central nen/ous system depression characterized by the following
progressive steps: headache, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness or coma. In elevated-
temperature applications, product may release vapors that may produce cyanosis in the absence of sufficient
ventilation or adequate respiratory protection. May cause respiratory sensitization. May cause lung damage.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion is not an expected route of
entry in industrial or commercial uses.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: May cause liver or kidney damage. Repeated or
prolonged solvent overexposure may result in permanent central nervous system damage. May cause long-
term lung damage. May affect the gastrointestinal system. May affect the blood and blood-forming organs.
Chronic skin contact may cause dermatitis. Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory
animals. The relevance ofthis finding for humans is uncertain. (ARC has designated trichloroethylene as
Group 2A - limited evidence for carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence in experimental animals.
lARC has designated carbon black as Group 2B - inadequate evidence for carcinogenicity in humans, but
sufficient evidence in experimental animals. 1,2 butyiene oxide has been classified by lARC as a possible
human carcinogen (Group 2B),
