Weather Insulating/Sealing 6 :
Polystyrene: Polystyrene is used as a spray-on application similar to SPF installations. Styrene may be generated during the installation process. Styrene has been shown to cause several health effects when inhaled. These include respiratory irritation, and neurological effects. Employers need to provide adequate respiratory protection and protective equipment similar to SPF installation when using this spray-on application (29 CFR 1910.1000 Subpart Z; 29 CFR 1926.55 Appendix A - Air contaminants; EPA IRIS). Styrene is also flammable and the same controls as outlined for SPF should be used (29 CFR 1910.106 - Flammable and combustible liquids). OSHA has identified these unique hazards associated with Polystyrene/styrene: Fires. See more from topic source: https://www.osha.gov/html/a-z-index.html
