Proposed Project Understanding Long-term Respiratory Morbidity in Former Styrene-Exposed Workers: Medical Survey—New— National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Styrene is used in the production of automobile parts, boats, computer housings, food containers, wind energy components, and many other products. An estimated 90,000 U.S. workers are potentially exposed to styrene at more than 5,000 U.S. manufacturing plants. Occupational exposure to styrene has been associated with deleterious health effects, including changes in color vision, mucous membrane irritation, hearing loss, and neurocognitive impairment. Workplace exposure to E:\FR\FM\01OCN1.SGM 01OCN1 61951 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 191 / Thursday, October 1, 2020 / Notices styrene has also been associated with cases of non-malignant respiratory disease (NMRD), including COPD and obliterative bronchiolitis. However, little is understood about the long-term respiratory effects on styrene-exposed workers. The goal of this project is to understand the prevalence of long-term respiratory morbidity in styreneexposed workers. The objectives of the proposed study are: (1) To characterize work exposures by acquiring job histories and comparing with historical exposure levels obtained from a past industrial hygiene survey, (2) to examine prevalence of respiratory morbidity by duration and level of styrene exposure and other characteristics, (3) to apply research biomarkers of lung injury to a styreneexposed workforce, and (4) to describe the prevalence of color vision impairment with the presence of respiratory morbidity. Our hypothesis is that workers previously exposed to high concentrations of styrene (≥5 ppm), even those with short tenure (<1 year), will have a higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms and lung function abnormalities compared with workers exposed to low concentration of styrene (<5ppm). We will conduct face-to-face interviews with members of a cohort of workers from two reinforced plastic boatbuilding plants that closed in 1989 and 1993. The purpose of the interviews is to collect demographic information, detailed job history during and after the worker’s tenure at the boatbuilding plant, upper and lower respiratory symptoms, physician diagnoses of respiratory diseases, cigarette smoking history, and medication use. A NIOSH employee will conduct the interviews. We will also conduct several lung function tests including: Exhaled nitric oxide, impulse oscillometry, multiplebreath washout, spirometry, and bronchodilator reversibility testing. The purpose of the lung function testing is to identify small and large airway abnormalities that are consistent with NMRD. NIOSH technicians will perform the lung function testing. We will collect blood to analyze for biomarkers associated with lung injury caused by obliterative bronchiolitis. A NIOSH phlebotomist will collect the blood samples. Finally, we will assess cohort members for color vision abnormalities using the Lanthony D–15 Color Test. Color vision assessment will be completed by a NIOSH technician. The only cost to boatbuilder cohort members is local travel to the medical survey site and their time. The total estimated burden hours are 712.

Proposed Project

    Understanding Long-term Respiratory Morbidity in Former Styrene-
Exposed Workers: Medical Survey--New--National Institute for 
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Styrene is used in the production of automobile parts, boats, 
computer housings, food containers, wind energy components, and many 
other products. An estimated 90,000 U.S. workers are potentially 
exposed to styrene at more than 5,000 U.S. manufacturing plants. 
Occupational exposure to styrene has been associated with deleterious 
health effects, including changes in color vision, mucous membrane 
irritation, hearing loss, and neurocognitive impairment. Workplace 
exposure to

styrene has also been associated with cases of non-malignant 
respiratory disease (NMRD), including COPD and obliterative 
bronchiolitis. However, little is understood about the long-term 
respiratory effects on styrene-exposed workers.
    The goal of this project is to understand the prevalence of long-
term respiratory morbidity in styrene-exposed workers. The objectives 
of the proposed study are: (1) To characterize work exposures by 
acquiring job histories and comparing with historical exposure levels 
obtained from a past industrial hygiene survey, (2) to examine 
prevalence of respiratory morbidity by duration and level of styrene 
exposure and other characteristics, (3) to apply research biomarkers of 
lung injury to a styrene-exposed workforce, and (4) to describe the 
prevalence of color vision impairment with the presence of respiratory 
morbidity. Our hypothesis is that workers previously exposed to high 
concentrations of styrene (>=5 ppm), even those with short tenure (<1 
year), will have a higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms and lung 
function abnormalities compared with workers exposed to low 
concentration of styrene (<5ppm).
    We will conduct face-to-face interviews with members of a cohort of 
workers from two reinforced plastic boatbuilding plants that closed in 
1989 and 1993. The purpose of the interviews is to collect demographic 
information, detailed job history during and after the worker's tenure 
at the boatbuilding plant, upper and lower respiratory symptoms, 
physician diagnoses of respiratory diseases, cigarette smoking history, 
and medication use. A NIOSH employee will conduct the interviews. We 
will also conduct several lung function tests including: Exhaled nitric 
oxide, impulse oscillometry, multiple-breath washout, spirometry, and 
bronchodilator reversibility testing.
    The purpose of the lung function testing is to identify small and 
large airway abnormalities that are consistent with NMRD. NIOSH 
technicians will perform the lung function testing. We will collect 
blood to analyze for biomarkers associated with lung injury caused by 
obliterative bronchiolitis. A NIOSH phlebotomist will collect the blood 
samples. Finally, we will assess cohort members for color vision 
abnormalities using the Lanthony D-15 Color Test. Color vision 
assessment will be completed by a NIOSH technician.
    The only cost to boatbuilder cohort members is local travel to the 
medical survey site and their time. The total estimated burden hours 
are 712.
