Mann, J.B., J.J. Freal, H.F. Enos and J.X. Danauskas. 1980. Field Application of Evaluated Methodology for Determining 1,2-Dibromoethane, EDB, in Ambient Air. J. Environ. Sci. Health Part B Pestic. Food Contam. Agric. Wastes. B15(5):529-543. (ERL,GB X215).

EDB (ethylene dibromide) is of regulatory interest because it has cancer inducing properties and is a causative agent of aspermia. Previously evaluated methodology was used to determine the extent of exposure of workers to EDB in citrus fumigation stations and a warehouse used as a holding site before shipment. The purpose of this effort was to carry out environmental sampling, and to determine the exposure level of workers and related administrative personnel at two citrus fumigation centers and at a warehouse.
