Description
Key messages:
- Sulphuric acid mist at high concentrations causes corrosion of the teeth and is irritating to the respiratory system, but long‐term low concentration exposure can also cause cancer of the larynx.
- The AIOH believes that exposure may be adequately controlled by conventional means such as local exhaust ventilation and segregation of workers from areas of high concentration.
- A standard to limit exposure to no more than 0.1 mg of sulphuric acid mist in each cubic metre of air is recommended for the measured inhalable fraction.
