but by their generic names he said Safety data sheets must be obtained from manufacturers of products listing their chemical properties and addi tional inormation such as the boiling point level of toxicity mw it effects the human body and how to treat those effects Clark said Monitoring for toxic levels will have to be constant and the results not only recorded for possible inspection by the ministry of labor but posted where employees can see the monitor readings Clark said Clark said data sheets are already available from several sources in the United States such as the Manufacturers

im mediate threat some delayed and some chronic he said Gases such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon monoxide which is killer in industry are acutely toxic and give no warning Clark said Hydrogen sulphide has rotten egg smell only in low concentration but in high levels it can dull the sense of smell and the worker will not recognize the danger You must know what you are looking for an you
