9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Physical and Chemical Properties
Mercury The mercury concentration in the air as a result of breakage of one or a small number of fluorescent
lamps should result in no significant to the individual. However, if breaking a large number of lamps for disposal,
appropriate industrial hygiene monitoring and controls should be implemented to minimize airborne levels or
surface contamination. We recommend a well-ventilated area, and local exhaust ventilation or personal protective
equipment.
GlassGlass dust is considered to be physiologically inert and as such has an OSHA exposure limits of
15-mg/cubic meter for total dust and 5-mg/cubic meter for respirable dust. Perform normal first aid procedures.
