Type of Exposure: Alveolar gangrene Dust
Derived No Exposure Exposure Level (DNEL)
Worker DNEL, long-term Local effects inhaled 3 mg / m³
Consumers DNEL, long-term Local effects inhaled 0.5 mg / m³
8.2 Exposure controls
Technical protection measures:
Technical protective measures and the application of appropriate working methods take precedence
over the use of personal protective equipment
Individual protection measures
Eye protection: wear suitable safety glasses (dust protection)
Hand protection: Wear suitable gloves if longer contact time is foreseeable; Glove material: nitrile rubber
with
0.11 mm thickness and> 480 min. Breakthrough time
