EXHAUST SYSTEMS, GENERAL ij COMFORT VENTILATION The New York State Department of La bor has examined the economics of air re circulation in detail0 General Ventilation Contaminant control by dilution Although local exhaust systems have sev eral inherent advantages, as compared with general ventilation--for example, removal of contaminant before it spreads throughout the room, economy of air flow, less heat loss, etc--there are some operations where local exhaust systems are impracticable With such operations the contaminant is usually a solvent vapor, but occasionally it is a fume or dust Local exhausts may be unseated because there is a multitude of sources of vapor, or the source may be ex tensive as in a large coating process, or the amount of ductwork to connect all die nec essary hoods may be forbidding Such operations can sometimes be con trolled by diluting the general room at mosphere with outdoor air fast enough to keep the concentration of toxic vapor m the room air within safe limits Solvents appear in synthetic varnishes and lacquers, in cements and adhesives, m liquid coatings for fabrics and other mate rials, in cleaning operations, and in many other processes The basic purpose of sol vents in these applications is to evaporate into the atmosphere, leaving behind some physically changed substance, which is the desired end product Thus, the very heart of the process involves polluting the air with vapor.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT protective devices must be considered as op tical instruments, and they should be care fully selected, fitted, and used Contact lenses should never be considered as being a replacement for safe protective equipment for the eye Workers have had their eyesight permanently unpaired and have even been blmded by corrosive chemi cals or small particles getting between their contact lenses and their eyes The amount of money spent to acquire and fit eye protective devices is small when measured against the savings afforded by the protection given For example, the pur chase and fitting of a pair of impact-resist ant spectacles may cost from 5 to 15 dol lars, compensation costs for a lost eye may range from 1,600 to 10,000 dollars If the eye protection program is super vised, directly or indirectly, by an industrial ophthalmologist, on either a full-time or consultation basis, there will be an addition al return from proper utilization of the visual abilities of the work force Unfortunately, there is no impartial test ing laboratory set up to approve eye protec- Fig 36-7 Earmuffs being worn in con junction with a respirator and tinted safe ty glasses.
