Workplace

NIOSH has published a recommended exposure limit of 350 mg/m3 TWA for a 10-hour workday and a ceiling level of 1,800 mg/m3 (15-minute sampling period). The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists has recommended a threshold limit value TWA of 100 ppm (525 mg/m3) for an 8-hour workshift.
