to the specific work-place., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration
and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type
N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
