8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 Exposure Limits:
ACGIH (TLV): 1 mg/m3 (TWA, respirable fraction, related to Aluminum insoluble compounds)
OSHA (PEL): 15 mg/m3 (TWA, total particulates, not otherwise regulated)

Engineering Controls: Provide adequate ventilation to control dusts. Observe occupational exposure limits and minimize
the inhalation of dusts.
Respiratory Protection: No specific recommendation made, but respiratory protection must be used if the general dust
level exceeds recommended occupational exposure limits. Wear appropriate dust masks in high dust conditions and
affected work areas.
