The health hazards associated with this product are due primarily to the presence of ammonia. Ammonia may be
released during handling of the latex in an open container. Ammonia has an extremely low threshold odor (<1 ppm).
Therefore, the odor of ammonia will be noticeable and may produce discomfort, even though the airborne concentrations may be below the OSHA PEL or the ACGIH TLV. The user must determine the employee exposure to ammonia in his/her facility.
