Dilutesulfuric acidformula

A respirator with an air-purifying filter, cartridge, or canister that removes specific air contaminants by passing ambient air through the air-purifying element.

Solid particles generated by handling, crushing, grinding, rapid impact, detonation, and decrepitation of organic or inorganic materials.

Sulfuric acid

A container with a filter, sorbent, or catalyst, or combination of these items, which removes specific contaminants from the air passed through the container.

Hydrochloricacid

A term used for a substance that, although present in the gaseous phase, usually exists as a liquid or solid at room temperature and pressure.

Sulfuric aciddensity

A negative pressure particulate respirator with a filter as an integral part of the face-piece or with the entire face-piece composed of the filtering medium.

A state of matter in which the material has very low density and viscosity; can expand and contract greatly in response to changes in temperature and pressure; easily diffuses into other gases; readily and uniformly distributes itself throughout any container.

Sulfuric acidformula

A room or defined space in a workplace where hazardous conditions are or may be produced or used, and where employees are present.

Means a pass/fail fit test to assess the adequacy of respirator fit that relies on the individual's response to the test agent (e.g., irritant smoke).

Sulfuric acidboiling point

H2SO4

A worker who monitors other workers in IDLH work environments and is able to initiate rescue operations in case of an emergency.

A type of respirator in which the wearer is independent of the surrounding atmosphere because he/she is breathing with a system that is portable and admits no outside air, thus providing respiratory protection against toxic gases and oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

A Miami University employee who is assigned to tasks that require respiratory protection and is authorized to wear respiratory protective equipment through training and meeting specific physical and medical requirements.

A warning system for the respirator user, which indicates the approach of the end of adequate respiratory protection (e.g., color change in sorbent material).

Concentratedsulfuric acid

The use of a protocol to qualitatively or quantitatively evaluate the fit of a respirator on an individual. See also Qualitative fit test (QLFT) and Quantitative fit test (QNFT.)

Suspended liquid droplets generated by condensation from the gaseous to the liquid state or by breaking up a liquid into a dispersed state. Mist is formed when a finely divided liquid is suspended in air.

Small solid particles usually generated by condensation from the gaseous state of a metal or plastic after volatilization.

Acute exposure that poses an immediate threat of loss of life, immediate or delayed irreversible adverse effects on health, or an exposure that would prevent escape from a hazardous environment.
