Excerpts from Documentation for IDLHs |
Basis for original (SCP) IDLH: The chosen IDLH is based on the mouse 4-hour LC50 of 270 ppm [Hine et al. 1956] cited in ACGIH [1971], AIHA [1965], and Patty [1963]. . . . Basis for revised IDLH: The revised IDLH for allyl glycidyl ether is 50 ppm based on acute inhalation toxicity data in animals [Hine et al. 1956]. This may be a conservative value due to the lack of relevant acute toxicity data for workers. |
