Belgium Local name Potassium (hydroxyde de) # Kaliumhydroxide
Belgium Short time value (mg/m³) 2 mg/m³
Belgium Remark (BE) M: La mention M indique que lors d’une exposition
supérieure à la valeur limite, des irritations
apparaissent ou un danger d’intoxication aiguë existe.
Le procédé de travail doit être conçu de telle façon
que l’exposition ne dépasse jamais la valeur limite.
Lors des mesurages, la période d’échantillonnage doit
être aussi courte que possible afin de pouvoir effectuer
des mesurages fiables. Le résultat des mesurages est
calculé en fonction de la période d’échantillonnage.#
De vermelding M duidt aan dat bij de blootstelling
boven de grenswaarde irritatie optreedt of er gevaar
bestaat voor acute vergiftiging. Het werkprocédé moet
zo zijn ontworpen dat de blootstelling de grenswaarde
nooit overschrijdt. Bij een controle geldt dat de
bemonsterde periodezo kort mogelijk moet zijn om een
betrouwbare meting te kunnen verrichten. het
meetresultaat wordt dan gerelateerd aan de
beschouwde periode
