  • Page 29 APPENDIX C: RESIDUAL RISKS When safety instructions are followed, most of the risks associated with the MicroClean are mitigated. However, the operator should be aware that a few residual risks remain. 1. Carbon Dioxide is an asphyxiant gas, which displaces the oxygen in the air. When the carbon dioxide levels are not monitored, there is a risk of exposure to high concentrations of CO .
