Misapplications that Could Result in a
Hazardous Situation
There is one scenario where the Paramount’s misapplication could be a part
of a hazardous condition. That situation is where;
1.
the Inlet Concentration is greater than the exposure limit/TWA,
2.
the filter becomes saturated,
3.
the user continues to operate,
4.
and the ventilation of the room is insufficient to dilute the exhaust of
the Paramount to below the exposure limit/TWA for the chemical.
Important Note:
When the inlet concentration is greater than the exposure
limit/TWA, extra measures must be taken to monitor the number of air room
exchanges. A well designed room with proper air exchanges will properly
dilute the exhaust from the Paramount by a multiplier of 25%.
