RENALIN vapors – what must be checked and how often?
A. The two components of RENALIN Cold Sterilant, which are subject to OSHA regulation for maximum airborne levels, are hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. OSHA specifies that their maximum levels, measured as 8-hour time-weighted averages, are 1 and 10 ppm respectively. For an explanation on how to measure TWA, please refer to the Fall/Winter 1994 issue of ReNews®. OSHA has not established a frequency for monitoring, only that these limits be met. We recommend that initial testing be done when exposure appears greatest, such as when diluting RENALIN Cold Sterilant, to establish the maximum expected levels. If these are found to be below the OSHA limits, routine testing can be infrequent. Testing should always be repeated if processes are changed or if personnel experience discomfort.
