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.
