Survey Report: Control Technology Evaluation for Controlling Worker Exposure to Asphalt Fumes from Roofing Kettles: Kettle Operated Using an Afterburner System at 5900 Broadway San Antonio, Texas
On August 30 and 31, 2000, a field survey was conducted at a construction site where a built up asphalt roof was being installed on an addition to a strip mall building at 5900 Broadway Ave. in San Antonio, Texas. The survey was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using an afterburner system with a safety loading door fitted to an asphalt kettle to reduce worker exposure to asphalt fumes. Personal breathing zone and area air samples were collected and analyzed for total particulate (TP), benzene soluble fraction (BSF) of the TP, and total polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC). These three analyses were chosen to represent indices of exposure to asphalt fumes. Air samples were collected under three different scenarios: afterburner on and kettle lid closed; afterburner off and kettle lid closed; and afterburner off and kettle lid opened. Air samples were collected on the kettle operator, two roof level workers, and area air samples were collected around the four corners of the kettle.
