COV levels in the proximity of workers during production tank gauging and opening of thief hatches can exceed regulatory standards, and several deaths have occurred after opening thief hatches. There is a paucity of information regarding the effects of COV inhalation in the lung. To address these knowledge gaps, the present hazard identification study was one of six undertaken to investigate the effects of inhaled COV in a rat animal model.
