Gloves monitoring

Hand rinses will not account for dermal absorption and may thus lead to lower exposure values. On the other hand, glove monitors which have not become moisture-saturated may keep dermal absorption at a minimum by acting as a physical barrier but may still overestimate exposure. Further research is needed to determine which of these monitoring techniques are capable of measuring actual dermal exposure to pesticides. 

Less commonly, environmental monitoring can extend also to the operators in the manufacturing area whose clothing, e.g. gloves or face masks, may be sampled in order to estimate the levels and types of organisms which may arise as product contaminants fiom those sources. 

In addition to the standard laboratory protection, such as safety goggles and chemically resistant butyl rubber gloves, a personal HF gas monitor with audible alarm and a safety sensor for liquids, as described in Section 10.4, are commercially available [2], For detailed information about the toxic effects of HF, see references Fi5, Wa8 and Re4.

An NMR tube (5-mm diameter) is charged with 0.207 g (0.713 mmol) of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde.5 Then a solution of 0.152 g (0.776 mmol) of (CO)5MnH in 1.5 mL of toluene is added via syringe. These operations are conveniently performed in a glove box. The tube is fitted with a septum and is vigorously shaken. A small needle connected to a hood vented oil bubbler is inserted into the septum to release the CO that evolves vigorously. After the CO evolution subsides somewhat, the disappearance of the aldehyde 3H NMR doublet (JHP = 5 Hz, 5 10.5) can be monitored. After 10 h, the aldehyde is consumed. 

F. Monitoring Impurities. Because of cost and complexity, the automatic monitoring of the glove box atmosphere is not common in academic laboratories, but some industrial and many atomic energy installations employ continuous monitoring. Water is easier to measure than oxygen and fairly simple mois-...
