Vapor Monitors How To Protect Yourself From Toxic Chemical Vapors The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have established permissible exposure levels (PEL) for healthcare professionals to Glutaraldehyde, Formaldehyde, and Nitrous Oxide. NevinLabs offers a monitor for measuring each of these potentially toxic substances. The monitor is clipped to the shirt collar or blouse, or placed in the room for area monitoring. The user records the “start” and “stop” times, and returns the monitor to Nevin in the mailer provided. The amount of vapor absorbed is measured as a time weighted average (TWA), and the parts per million (PPM) in the atmosphere is calculated. In about a week, the user receives a report indicating actual exposure in PPM, and whether it is above or below acceptable level. If exposure is too high, the report suggests practical methods for reducing it. NO. 7500 GLUTARALDEHYDE VAPOR MONITOR KIT OSHA LIMIT: 0.2 ppm measured over 15 minutes. Vapors cause headaches, nausea, drowsiness, eye, skin, and mucus membrane irritation at concentrations above 0.3 ppm. NO. 7520 NITROUS OXIDE VAPOR MONITOR KIT NIOSH limit 50 ppm in dental operatory; 25ppm in operating room. No OSHA limit. Vapors above recommended concentration cause increased levels of spontaneous abortion in exposed workers and spouses. Also related to liver disease. Potential exists to impair performance if gas level is high. Effects may be more severe with other inhalation anesthetics. 866.DTE.INFO www.DentalEZ.com http://Blog.DentalEZ.com Follow us!
