VCM cannister masks may be used in VCM concentrations below lO^ppm for up to 10 hours. They must not be used in higher concentrations except to escape from danger.
Air-line respirators may be used in VCM concentrations of no more than 1000 ppm. They must not be used in unknown concentrations.
Scott Air Paks must be worn in VCM concentrations above 1000 ppm. They must also be worn in unknown concentrations.
Breathing high concentrations of VCM can cause you to pass out.
One of the purposes of the medical surveillance program is to detect the symptoms of VCM related illness as early as possible.
