Which of these are sound studio practice with solvents and pigments?
Hints
- Three name a route of exposure and close it; one substitutes a slogan for a route.
- Ask how the hazardous material actually gets into a person.
Show the answer
- A. Ventilate the space and keep solvent containers closed when not in use
- B. Keep oil-soaked rags in a closed metal container, because they can self-heat
- C. Never sand or spray dried paint films without respiratory protection
Why
The fourth is not a rule at all. What matters is the route: inhalation of dust or vapour, ingestion from hands, absorption through skin. Naming the route tells you the precaution, which is why sanding a dried cadmium film is dangerous while brushing it out of a tube is not.
