8.2 Exposure Controls

Engineering Controls

A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.

Respiratory Protection

If the exposure limit is exceeded, wear a supplied air, full-facepiece respirator, airlined hood, or full-facepiece self-contained breathing apparatus.

Eye Protection

Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

Skin Protection

Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.

Chronic exposure to high doses may damage the peripheral nerves, resulting in numbness or tingling in the extremities. See also Reproductive Toxicity and Target Organ Statement for further special toxic effects.

Methanol

May irritate the respiratory tract and mucuous membranes. Exposure may cause central nervous system symptoms similar to those listed under Ingestion.

Linear alkyl phenyl ethoxylates

Vapors or mist, expecially as generated from heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may be irritating and cause discomfort in nose and throat. Prolonged exposure may cause difficulty breathing.

Ingestion

Solvent Naphtha, Light Aromatic

MODERATELY TOXIC. May cause irritation of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract. Aspiration into lungs may cause chemical pneumonia and lung damage. Aspiration symptoms may be delayed in onset by up to 24 hours. Exposure may also cause central nervous system symptoms similar to those listed under Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure - Inhalation. See also Reproductive Toxicity and Target Organ Statement for further special toxic effects.
