Although rats appear to be more susceptible than other animals anaemia is not uncommon amongst humans following exposure. The TLV reflects the need to maintain exposures below levels found to cause blood changes in experimental animals. It is concluded that this limit will reduce the significant risk of irritation, haematologic effects and other systemic effects observed in humans and animals exposed to higher vapour concentrations. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator.
Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. No special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities. PVC.Wear safety footwear. The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective equipment required. Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
