as rubber processing fume:
MEL-TWA: 0.6 mg/m鲁 as cyclohexane solubles [HSE, UK]
BRMA-TWA: 0.25 mg/m鲁 as cyclohexane solubles [BRMA Code of Practice]
Rubber fume is a complex and indeterminate mixture of substances and is defined
as "fume evolved in the mixing, milling and blending of natural rubber and
synthetic polymers combined with chemicals, and in the processes which convert
the resultant blend into finished products or parts thereof, and including any
inspection procedures where fume continues to be evolved".
"Fume" generally describes solid particles generated by chemical reactions, or
by condensation from the gaseous state, usually after volatilisation from melted
substances, and often accompanied by a chemical reaction such as oxidation or
thermal breakdown.
Several chemical agents may occur in rubber fume which are experimental or
animal carcinogens, however, given the number of chemicals used or formed during
rubber making, difficulties arise in attributing a particular effect to a given
exposure.
Stomach cancer has been associated with work in jobs early in the production
line; lung and lower oesophagus cancer with all work processes; and lymphomas
with jobs where co-exposure to solvents occurs. Other cancers have also been
reported with liver tumours appearing as a secondary phenomenon. No no-effect
levels have been determined.
Two studies showed no excess of bladder cancer in workers entering the industry
after 1950: the excess risk before that date is thought to result from exposure
to residual beta-naphthylamines previously used as anti-oxidants.
as rubber process dust:
MEL-TWA: 6 mg/m鲁 [HSE, UK]
Rubber process dust is a complex, variable mixture of particulates defined as
"dust arising in the stages of rubber manufacture where ingredients are handled,
weighed, added to or mixed with natural or synthetic elastomers. It does not
include dusts arising from the abrasion of cured rubber but occurs during the
preparation of compounds of either synthetic or natural rubber.
There is some evidence that occupational exposure to rubber dusts produces an
excess incidence of stomach cancer. HSE data concluded that there was a small
but significant excess of stomach cancer associated with the initial processes
in rubber manufacture. Stomach cancer shows a marked social class gradient,
which may lead to an over-estimation of the risk.
One report from the USA stated that exposure in rubber processing areas produces
pulmonary disease but this has not been supported by UK epidemiology nor reports
from the industry.
No no-effect level has been determined. The MEL was considered appropriate
because it was felt reasonably practical for industry to comply with this value.
WATER:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

EYE
鈥? Safety glasses with side shields.
鈥? Chemical goggles.
鈥? Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens
or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This
should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of
chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be
readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation
immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be
removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed
in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use
determine the type of personal protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if
available), or your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be required in special circumstances. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear approved respirator. Supplied-air type respirator may be required
in special circumstances. Correct fit is essential to ensure adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouses and enclosed storage
areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape"
velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh
circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)
evaporating from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high speed wheel generated dusts
(released at high initial velocity into
zone of very high rapid air motion)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction
point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or
used.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg.
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC
Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
SKIN
There is some evidence to suggest that the material may cause mild but
significant inflammation of the skin either following direct contact or after a
delay of some time. Repeated exposure can cause contact dermatitis which is
characterised by redness, swelling and blistering.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under

EC Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry
through wounds, lesions or abrasions.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles,
scaling and thickening of the skin.
INHALED
There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory
irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause
further lung damage.
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by inhalation". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. In the absence of such evidence, care should be taken
nevertheless to ensure exposure is kept to a minimum and that suitable control
measures be used, in an occupational setting to control vapours, fumes and
aerosols.
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
This material contains a substantial amount of polymer considered to be of low
concern. These are classified under having MWs of between 1000 to 10000 with
less than 25% of molecules with MWs under 1000 and less than 10% under 500; or
having a molecular weight average of over 10000. Functional groups contained on
the polymer are then classified into risk categories. Being classified as a
polymer of "low concern" does not mean that there are no hazards associated with
the chemical. Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce
chronic effects adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using
animal models); nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a
matter of course.
