Exposure Assessment
BEI Cholinesterase activity in red cells = 70% of individual's baseline, sample time discretionary; [ACGIH]
Skin Designation (ACGIH) Yes
TLV (ACGIH) 0.1 mg/m3, inhalable fraction and vapor
PEL (OSHA) 3 mg/m3
MAK 3 mg/m3, inhalable fraction
IDLH (NIOSH) 200 mg/m3
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.
Vapor Pressure 0.0002 mm Hg
Lethal Concentration LC (mice) > 1,500 mg/m3/6h
Adverse Effects
Skin Sensitizer Yes
Other Poison Organophosphate
