| Excerpts from Documentation for IDLHs |
Basis for revised IDLH: No inhalation toxicity data are available on which to base an IDLH for ammonium sulfamate. Therefore, the revised IDLH for ammonium sulfamate is 1,500 mg/m3 based on the acute oral toxicity data in animals [Ball 1956]. This may be a conservative value due to the lack of relevant acute toxicity data for workers. |
