Air Monitoring Data on Floor Finishes and Strippers

[Guest guest]

Has anyone conducted exposure assessment during/after floor stripping and

finishing? The products in question contain (strippers:ethanolamines,

phenoxyethanol, alkoxylated alcohol, diehtylene gylcol monophenyl ether)

(Finisher: ethanol 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy 111-90-0) We have conduct some initial

monitoring with photo ionzation detector and noted 200-300 ppb during stripping

and 2000-6000 ppb during waxing/finish application. We came accross a good

summary document on green floor-care products (see below). Any insight or

monitoring data would most welcomed.
