NIOSH Resources
Current Intelligence Bulletin
39: Glycol Ethers 2-Methoxyethanol and 2-Ethoxyethanol
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 83-112
This document recommends that 2-methoxyethanol (2ME) and 2-ethoxyethanol
(2EE) be regarded in the workplace as having the potential to cause adverse
reproductive effects in male and female workers.
Current Intelligence Bulletin
46: Methylene Chloride
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 86-114
This document recommends occupational exposure to methylene chloride be
controlled to the lowest feasible limit.
Criteria for a Recommended
Standard: Occupational Exposure to Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether, Ethylene
Glycol Monoethyl Ether, and Their Acetates
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 91-119
This document examines the occupational health risks associated with exposure
to Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether, Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether,
and their acetates. Criteria are also provided for eliminating or minimizing
the risks encountered by workers during the manufacture and use of these
glycol ethers.
Criteria for
a Recommended Standard: Occupational Exposure to Methylene Chloride
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 76-138a
NIOSH recommends that worker exposure to Diochloromethane, commonly known
as Methylene Chloride, be controlled in the workplace by following the
guidelines presented in this document.

The Pocket Guide is a source of general industrial hygiene information on several
hundred chemicals/classes found in the work environment. Key data provided for
each chemical/substance includes name (including synonyms/trade names), structure/formula,
CAS/RTECS Numbers, DOT ID, conversion factors, exposure limits, IDLH, chemical
and physical properties, measurement methods, personal protection, respirator
recommendations, symptoms, and first aid.
International Chemical Safety
Cards (WHO/IPCS/ILO)
IPCS cards summarize essential health and safety information on chemicals
for their use at the "shop floor" level by workers and employers
in factories, agriculture, construction and other work places.
