Description of substance: Colorless gas with a characteristic, sweet odor.
LEL: . . Nonflammable Gas
Original (SCP) IDLH: 385 ppm
Basis for original (SCP) IDLH: The chosen IDLH is based on the rat 4hour LC50 of 385 ppm [Greene et al. 1960 cited by ACGIH 1971].
Short-term exposure guidelines: None developed

Human data: None relevant for use in determining the revised
IDLH.
Revised IDLH: 100 ppm
Basis for revised IDLH: The revised IDLH for perchloryl fluoride is 100 ppm based on acute inhalation toxicity data in animals [Greene et al. 1960; Jacobson 1958]. |
