SECTION 02081 GENERAL REMOVAL PROCEDURES
Removal Procedures
NOTE: No asbestos removal shall be done without the Industrial Hygienist (IH) being on site. Prior to starting any work the contractor shall insure that all personnel are trained in the hazards of working with lead, arsenic, cadmium, working with Sulfurous Acid, working with Converter Cottrell Dust and in high nose areas. Attachments to this manual contain material safety data sheets for Sulfurous Acid and Converter Cottrell Dust to aid in training asbestos personnel.
A. See Section 01560 and Section 01563 for minimum personnel protection. Industrial Hygienist (IH) shall authorize commencement of removal procedures. Clean and isolate the work area in accordance with Section 01527. Containers or drum shall mean containers that meet DOT 49 CFR 178.
B. Spray all asbestos containing material with amended water solution, removal encapsulant, or chemical remover using spray equipment capable of delivering a low' pressure mist to reduce the release ot asbestos fibers. Adequately wet the ACM to the substrate and spray the ACM continuously during the removal practices to maintain adequate wet conditions and minimize fiber release and dispersion. Follow all manufacturers recommended procedures if a manufactured product is used for removal processes.
C. Saturated asbestos containing material shall be removed in manageable sections. As ACM is removed, material will be placed in a suitable 6 mil polyethylene bags or drum. Material shall not be allowed to drv out prior to containerizing. Surrounding areas shall be periodically sprayed and maintained in a wet condition until visible material is cleaned up.
D. All material removed shall not be thrown or dropped to the floor. Removal of intact and manageable sections is highly recommended as it will reduce fiber dispersion. All ACM containerized shall be carefully lowered to the ground floor by asbestos personnel.
E. Containers (6-mil polyethylene hags or drums) shall be sealed when full. All ACM containerized shall be double lined. Bags shall not be overfilled as wet material is heavier than dry material. .All containerized material shall be sealed with suitable duct tape, do not use wire or cord as it may break the container. All containerized material shall be decontaminated on the exterior surfaces before leaving the work area.
F. Large components removed intact shall be wrapped in 2 layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting secured with tape for transport to the landfdl.
G. Asbestos containing waste with sharp-edged components (e.g. nails, screws, metal lath, tin sheeting) will tear the polyethylene bags and should be placed into drums for disposal.
H. After completion of all stripping work, surfaces from which asbestos containing materials have been removed shall be wet brushed and sponged or cleaned by some equivalent method to remove all visible residue.
I. Clean-up shall proceed in accordance with Section 01712.
J. After the work area has been rendered free of visible residues, and the Industrial Hvgienist (IH) has inspected and approved the area, a thin coat of a satisfactory encapsulating agent shall be applied to all surfaces in the work area including structural members, building components and plastic sheeting on walls, floors and covering non-removable items, to seal in non-visible residue. (Note: 1) Hich temperature components such as boilers and pipes may not permit the application of some encapsulants. 2) If insulation

or acoustical materials arc to be reapplied to the abated area, be certain that the encapsulant selected will permit good adhesion to the substrate. A small area should be tested before application).
K. Special circumstances (e.g. live electrical equipment, high amosite content of material, materials previously coated with an encapsulant or paint) may prohibit the adequate use of wet methods to reduce fiber concentrations. For these situations, a dry removal method may be required. The contractor will have to acquire special permits, different from those mentioned herein from the NESHAP enforcement agency.

ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE (SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS)
Extremely high doses of lead may cause encephalopathy, a brain condition that can result in seizures, coma and death. It should be
recognized, however, that exposures of this magnitude in an industrial environment are extremely unlikely.
Arsenic and antimony compounds may cause irritation of the respiratory system, skin and eyes, and gastrointestinal disturbances.
Inhalation of dust or fume from cadmium compounds may cause irritation of the nose and throat. Inhalation of high concentrations
of freshly-formed fume may cause a delayed reaction of pulmonary edema with symptoms of coughing, chest pain, chills, shortness of
breath and weakness. Metal fume fever with symptoms of fever, chills, metallic taste, chest tightness or nausea may result from
inhalation of zinc oxide fume or dust.
Soluble copper salts can cause respiratory irritation, and irritation and/or bums to the skin and eves.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE (SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS)
Chronic overexposure to lead may cause diseases of the blood-forming organs, kidneys and liver, damage to the reproductive systems,
a decrease in fertility in men and women, damage to the fetus of a pregnant woman, anemia, muscular weakness and kidney dvsfunctit
Symptoms include: tiredness, uneasy stomach, irritability, poor appetite, metallic taste and loss of sleep. Prolonged overexposure
to arsenic compounds may cause liver and kidney abnormalities, peripheral neuritis of the hands and feet and an
increased risk of lung cancer. Symptoms include weight loss, nausea, diarrhea, weaknesses, loss of appetite and skin lesions.
Long term overexposure to cadmium may cause lung injury(cmphvsema),lung cancer, and kidney dysfunction(proteinuria).

HEALTH HAZARD DATA/FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
CHEMICAL NAME(S) ACGIH (TLV) OSHA (TWA) Sulfur dioxide 2 ppm, 5.2 mg/m3 (TWA) 2 ppm, 5 mg/m3
TOXICOLOGY DATA:
ORAL LD50 (RATS): No information available '
DERMAL LD50 (RABBIT): No information available
INHALATION LC50 (RAT - 1 HR EXPOSURE): 2520 ppm (1)
SKIN EFFECTS (RABBIT): No information available
EYE EFFECTS (RABBIT): Mild (6 ppm/4H/32D) CARCINOGENICITY: While there have been suggested associations between sulfur
dioxide and lung cancer in an epidemiology study and animal experiments,
other studies do not support this hypothesis. (4) Sulfur dioxide is not
designated as a carcinogen by IARC. NTP, ACGIH or OSHA.
SIGNS OF POISONING: Acute poisoning from sulfur dioxide is rare because the
gas is easily detected. It is so irritating that contact cannot be tolerated.
Symptoms include coughing, hoarseness, sneezing, tearing, and breathing
| difficulty. However, workers who cannot escape high accidental exposure may
j suffer severe pulmonarv damage which can be fatal.
! EFFECTS OF SINGLE OVEREXPOSURE:
SWALLOWING. Swallowing liquid sulfur dioxide will bum the mouth,
esophagus, and stomach due to the freezing effect of the liquid. Ingestion is not likely to occur.
INHALATION: Breathing sulfur dioxide gas will irritate the eyes, throat and
upper respiratory system. Concentrations of 5-10 ppm cause irritation
of the nose and throat. Higher concentrations cause irritant coughing.
Concentrations of 50-100 are considered dangerous. Exposures to 400-500 ppm
are life-threatening. A small percentage of persons with asthma may suffer
severe asthma-like reactions of following exposure to relatively low levels
! of sulfur dioxide.
SKIN CONTACT: Contact with liquid sulfur dioxide causes bums (frostbite).
EYE CONTACT: Liquid causes comeal bums. Concentrations of gas above 20
ppm causes lacrimation (tears) and irritation of eyes.
EFFECTS OF REPEATED OVEREXPOSURE: Repeated exposure of animals to sulfur dioxide can produce a thickening of the mucous layer in the trachea and an
increase in goblet cells and mucous glands similar to changes observed in
human chronic bronchitis. (2)
Epidemiology studies indicate that chronic exposure at levels above 2 ppm can cause respiratory disease and reduced pulmonary function. (2) Chronic
effects include inflammation of the lining of the nose, dry throat and
cough. (3)
OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: No other effects known.
EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Skin irritation
may be aggravated in individuals with existing skin lesions. Breathing of gas
may aggravate acute or chronic asthma and chronic pulmonary disease such as
emohysema and bronchitis.
i
ASARCO ELP 0011224
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Remove the patient from immediate source of exposure and assure that the individual is breathing. If not breathing, use artificial respiration. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SWALLOWING: If victim is conscious and alert, give two or more glasses of water or milk to drink. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! If vomiting occurs, give fluids again. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: Wash all affected areas with plenty of soap and water while under a safety shower for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Seek medical attention immediately. Discard any contamination clothing and shoes. INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. If heart beat is absent, start CPR | (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION, j EYES: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes using an eyewash fountain, if available. Lift upper and ! lower lids and rinse well under them. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
; NOTES TO PHYSICLAN': No specific antidote is available. .All treatments should
! be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient.
! Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to
I materials other than this product mav have occured. ^PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
______ _
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Personnel involved in cleaning up a spill or stopping a leak should wear gas masks and/or self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious protective clothing. Small leaks may be readily located by spraying the potential leak area with ammonium hydroxide solution. A dense, white fume will form if sulfur dioxide is present. Locate and control leakage by closing or capping valves. Spill must be contained and prevented from entering streams or sewers. NEVER .APPLY 1 WATER TO A SULFUR DIOXIDE LEAK! Water causes sulfur dioxide to be more corrosive. A leaking sulfur dioxide container should be shifted so that gaseous rather than liquid material will escape.
A small liquid spill or leak can be handled routinely by passing sulfur dioxide through an alkaline neutralizing solution. One pound of sulfur dioxide is equivalent to about two pounds of lime or one and one-half pounds of caustic soda. Large spills should be handled according to a predetermined plan. For assistance in developing a plan, contact the Technical Service, 1-800-642-4200.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Absorbed sulfur dioxide solution must be oxidized to inert sulfate salts before disposal, then disposed of in accordance with Local State and Federal regulations. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Only trained personnel using appropriate protective equipment should handle sulfur dioxide. Use NIOSH Analytical Method 7600 & 7024. Avoid breathing gas. Do not get in eyes, on
