** Commission Directive 2000/39/EC <strong>of</strong> 8 June 2000 establishing a first list <strong>of</strong> indicative<br />
occupational exposure limit values in implementation <strong>of</strong> Council Directive 98/24/EC on the<br />
protection <strong>of</strong> the health and safety <strong>of</strong> workers from the risks related to chemical agents at<br />
work, OJ (L 142) 47, 16 June 2000.<br />
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) against dermal and eye exposure<br />
According to community legislation workers have to be provided with suitable PPE if their<br />
health is at risk due to exposure against chemicals. PPE that protects against the risks <strong>of</strong><br />
trisodium hexafluoroaluminate (Cryolite) is available. The type <strong>of</strong> filter and the material <strong>of</strong><br />
gloves, material thickness and breakthrough time have to be specified in the Safety Data<br />
Sheet.<br />
Are existing controls sufficient to limit occupational risks?<br />
It has been concluded from the risk assessment that there is a need for limiting the risks due to<br />
repeated dose toxicity (local and systemic effects), and developmental toxicity. Local effects<br />
upon repeated doses in the airways were the most critical effect with a criticaleffect level<br />
(CEL) <strong>of</strong> 0.1 mg/m 3 .In controlling this risk, also inhalation risks from other endpoints,<br />
especially systemic effects by fluorosis as result <strong>of</strong> repeated exposure and developmental<br />
toxicity would be effectively mitigated.
