8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Control parameters
If exposure limits exist, they are listed below. If no exposure limits are displayed, then no values are
applicable.
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Individual protection measures
Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields).
Skin protection
Hand protection: Chemical protective gloves should not be needed when handling
this material. Consistent with general hygienic practice for any material, skin contact
should be minimized.
Other protection: No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be
needed.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as
respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed;
however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Particulate filter.
