Airborne Exposure Limits: OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 1 mg/m3 (TWA) for copper dusts and mists as Cu. CGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLA): 1 mg/m3 (TWA) for copper dusts and mists as Cu. Ventilation System: A system of local exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation generally controls the emissions of the containment at its source thereby preventing dispersion of it into the general working area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, latest edition, for details. Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing. Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solution is possible. Maintain an eyewash station and quick-drench facility in the work area.
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be disposed of in an approved waste disposal facility. Adhere to State and Federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with Federal, State and local requirements.
