Peracetic acid uses.
Workplaces where peracetic acid is used include:
· Meat and poultry processing plants
· Dairy and cheese processing plants
· Healthcare facilities
· Food establishments
· Beverage plants, including breweries and wineries
· Paper and pulp facilities
· Water treatment facilities
· Cooling water towers
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is in the process of evaluating whether to develop an immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) value for peracetic acid. Note: An IDLH value is the maximum (airborne concentration) level above which only a highly reliable breathing apparatus providing maximum worker protection is permitted.
According to NIOSH’s draft IDLH value profile an IDLH value of 1.7 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) over 30 minutes is recommended for peracetic acid
