In normal practice, good ventilation to reduce exposure to vapors, splash-proof goggles to avoid eye contact, and protective clothing to avoid skin contact are required for the safe handling of acrylic monomers. A more extensive discussion of these factors should be consulted before handling these monomers (67). 

Appropriate protective clothing and equipment should be worn to minimize exposure to methacrylate liquids and vapors. Chemically resistant clothes and gloves and splash-proof safety goggles ate recommended. The working area should be adequately ventilated to limit vapors. Should chemical exposure occur, contaminated clothing should be removed and the affected area washed with copious amounts of water. Medical attention should be sought if symptoms appear. Eurther information about methyl methacrylate and other methacrylates is available (141). 

Current OSHA standards specify the threshold limit value (TLV) 8-h exposure to ammonia as 50 ppm (35 mg/m ). However, the ACGIH recommends a TLV of 25 ppm (96). Respiratory protection should be provided for workers exposed to ammonia. Protective clothing such as mbber aprons, boots, gloves, and goggles should be worn when handling ammonia. 

Cyanohydrins are highly toxic by inhalation or ingestion, and moderately toxic through skin absorption (21). AH a-hydroxy nitriles are potential sources of hydrogen cyanide or cyanides and must be handled with considerable caution. Contact with the skin and inhalation should be rigorously avoided. Special protective clothing should be worn and any exposure should be avoided (18,20). The area should be adequately ventilated. Immediate medical attention is essential in case of cyanohydrin poisoning. 

For machine operation, use of protective clothing, e.g. impervious aprons with detachable absorbent fronts (see also below). Protective gloves may be helpful if they can be kept clean inside (porous gloves may prolong exposure)...
