How to prevent lead vapor?
Thread Content
For example, I will be exposed to lead oxide and lead at work, and lead vapor will be produced during the operation. In order to prevent inhalation, are there any effective measures to solve this problem? Thank you. Is it effective to wear a mask? What kind of mask can achieve the best prevention effect?
The way lead enters the human body during the production process, the respiratory tract is the main way for lead to enter the human body, followed by the digestive tract. Inorganic lead compounds cannot pass through intact skin. Improvements should be made from the following aspects. One is to adopt new processes. The second is to strengthen sealing and ventilation. The third is personal protection and comprehensive management measures. Workers should be equipped with qualified respirators and required to pay attention to personal hygiene. Prevent the inhalation of lead from the respiratory tract; work in shifts to shorten workers' working hours; workers must undergo health examinations before, during and after work; provide workers with lead repellent treatment regularly. Professional anti-lead dust masks are available in labor protection supply stores. It is different from ordinary dust masks, such as 3M’s anti-lead poisoning mask 8233: 3M protective mask | 8233 N100 non-oily high-efficiency dust protective mask has a filtration efficiency of more than 99.97%. It is used for the protection of metals (such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, etc. below 10 times the occupational exposure limit concentration), radioactive particulate protection and pharmaceuticals, industrial decontamination and other environments that require efficient protection. It is used for the protection of very small amounts of organic odors from particulate matter, such as foundry, laboratory, agriculture, petrochemical, primer, plot and other industries. ——Excerpted from the Internet
