Engineering Controls:
In industrial situations, concentration values below the TWA value should be maintained.
Values may be reduced by process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing
substances at the source, or other methods. If you believe air borne concentrations of mists,
dusts or vapours are high, you are advised to modify the process or environment to reduce the problem. Decomposition Products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and smoke (if combustion is
