Monitor and manage worker exposure to 1,4-Benzoquinone (Quinone) with professional air sampling and expert analysis from LCS Laboratory Inc. Quinone is widely used in industrial processes, including:
- Organic synthesis: Serves as a key oxidant and hydrogen acceptor.
- Polymerization inhibitor: Prevents unwanted polymerization reactions.
While essential in these applications, Quinone poses health risks. Exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, with prolonged exposure leading to severe health issues. Stay compliant with workplace safety standards and protect employee well-being with accurate occupational exposure assessments.
Quinone Exposure Limits
The occupational exposure limit (OEL) for Quinone is 0.1 ppm (parts per million) as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA). LCS Laboratory Inc. specializes in testing workplace air to measure Quinone levels, helping employers meet regulatory requirements and mitigate risks effectively.
