Special Instructions for 3M™ Mercury Vapor or Chlorine Gas Cartridge 6009
3M™ Mercury Vapor Cartridges (6009 and 60929) are equipped with passive 3M™ End of Service Life Indicators (ESLI). The color change indicator must be readily visible when wearing the respirator without manipulation. If you cannot readily see the ESLI, do not use. The mercury vapor cartridges must be discarded when the ESLI changes to the discard color found on the mercury vapor cartridge label; or within 30 days of opening packaging; or when ESLI becomes dirty or damaged; or when odors of vapors or gases become noticeable, whichever occurs first. Mercury vapor has no odor.
