  • Methylene Chloride Facts No. 1 - Exposure Monitoring Requirements. OSHA, (1998). Provides only general information on monitoring requirements and should not be considered to be a complete summary of the methylene chloride related monitoring requirements.

  • Sampling and Analytical Methods. OSHA. Provides links to information developed by OSHA including validated methods for use by the Salt Lake Technical Center (SLTC) Laboratory.
  • Methylene Chloride. OSHA Chemical Sampling Information, (2000, January 27). Presents, in concise form, data on methylene chloride. Intended as a basic reference for industrial hygienists engaged in OSHA field activity.
