Health Hazard Evaluation Report No. HETA-83-191-1423, National Zoological Park Conservation Center, Front Royal, Virginia
In March 1983 the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request from the facilities manager of the National Zoological Park Conservation Center in Front Royal, Virginia, to evaluate formaldehyde exposures in the newly constructed Small Mammal Building. Formaldehyde was off-gassing from wooden truss rafters inadvertently treated with an exterior, rather than interior, chemical process to make them fire retardant. The building was closed for more than two weeks prior to sampling to measure 'worst case' conditions. Based on air samples collected under extreme 'worst case' conditions, NIOSH concluded that under normal operating conditions exposure levels within the Small Mammal Building would be in accordance with current NIOSH guidelines which call for the control of formaldehyde exposures to the lowest feasible level.
