Route of Exposure. You look at the MSDS and it lists a possible carcinogen in 2, does this mean you are going to get cancer if you breath this chemical in the mist from the wire showers? First you need to remember, all it takes is 0.1% of a carcinogen in a product to get listed on the MSDS (without any dilution factors). Then check the chronic health effects of the product, just because it contains a carcinogen does not mean that the product itself is assessed as being a carcinogen. The health effects will also tell you the rimary route of exposure?for a chemical, if a product is carcinogenic by ingestion, breathing the mist from the shower will not give you cancer. Acute effects are known immediately, but are often not long lasting. Chronic effects are usually not known until the damage can be seen which is generally permanent. Be sure to keep these away from flammable and combustible chemicals. Have you ever had to dress up to this extent? Before you handle a chemical for the first time, OSHA recommends that you read the Material Safety Data Sheet. An MSDS is written as a orse-case?scenario to cover all possible uses and applications. It is also written for s-is?product, not the dilute form you are exposed to in the system. I want to spend just a few minutes going over this important document and how to interpret the information. This is the only section that is ingredient specific. Each hazard is written as if it were 100% of the formulation. Not the diluted amount in the product. All hazardous ingredients 1% and all carcinogens .1% will be listed. OSHA does allow for proprietary ingredients to be claimed trade secrets. However, even though the ingredient is trade secret, all the hazards of the chemical will still be listed. Biocides will have a detailed listing of the ingredients. Section 3 gives you a quick emergency overview of the product, and important health effects that might occur with over-exposure to a chemical. Primary route of e
