Excerpts from Documentation for IDLHs |
Basis for original (SCP) IDLH: Because no useful data on acute inhalation toxicity are available, the chosen IDLH has been estimated from the male rat oral LD50 of 250 mg/kg [Gaines 1969 cited by ACGIH 1971]. ACGIH [1971] also reported that the acute toxicity data, inhalation data, and experience to date indicate that this is not a highly dangerous material. . . . Human data: None relevant for use in determining the revised IDLH. |
