<br /> and operate general and local maximum.expiostan-proof veaulauon systems powerful enough to maintain airborne levels of xylene
<br /> Wow the OSHA PEL standard cited in section 2 Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents dispersion of xylene into
<br /> ' general work areas by eliminating it at its source Consult the latest edition of Genium reference 103 for detailed recommendations
