Occupational Exposure Limit Values:

Rosin flux fumes (as total resin acids)

MEL: 0.05 mg/m³ 8h TWA.

MEL: 0.15 mg/m³ 15 min.

Extraction is necessary to remove fumes evolved during reflow.

Also see section 3.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use only with production equipment designed for use with tacky flux.

VENTILATION: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLVs.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A (US: NIOSH; EU: EN 140:1998, EN 14387:2004 A)-approved air-purifying respirator with fume/organic chemical cartridge should be worn when airborne concentrations may be exceeded. General and local exhaust ventilation is the preferred means of protection.
