HAZARD MITIGATORS — INHALATION <br /> Applies to Task: X O X O ❑ O ❑ ® ❑ O ❑ © ❑ ❑ <br /> • Be aware that the lungs are extremely vulnerable to chemical agents. Even substances <br /> that do not directly affect the lungs may pass through lung tissue into the bloodstream, <br /> where they aree transported to other vulnerable areas of the body. <br /> • Know the odor and odor threshold of the chemicals of concern. Some toxic chemicals <br /> present in the atmosphere may not be detected by human senses (i.e., they may be <br /> odorless and colorless, and their toxic effects may not produce any immediate <br /> symptoms). <br /> • Use engineering controls to reduce dust (e.g. dust suppression techniques) and vapor <br /> concentrations (e.g. ventilation). <br /> • Wear respiratory protection as indicated by air monitoring results and/or as required by <br /> the Health and Safety Plan. <br /> Inhalation-HazMit.doc Page I of 1 <br /> 8/3/2007 <br />
