* * * Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection * * *
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
Keep formation of airborne mists to a minimum.
B: Component Exposure Limits
Copper Ammonium Complex (23087-46-9)
NIOSH: 1 mg/m3 TWA (as Cu, except Copper fume) (related to Copper compounds)
Engineering Controls
Provide local and general exhaust ventilation to effectively remove and prevent buildup of any vapors or mists
generated from the handling of this product.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Wear chemical goggles and face shield.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Wear impervious (neoprene) or rubber gloves, impervious apron.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
If ventilation is not sufficient to effectively prevent buildup of vapors or mists, appropriate approved NIOSH
respiratory protection must be provided. Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a
trained health and safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR
1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). A written respiratory protection program,
including provisions for medical certification, training, fit testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection,
cleaning, and convenient, sanitary storage must be implemented.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Eye wash fountain and emergency showers are recommended. An emergency spill response will necessitate the
use of more stringent personal protective equipment.
