<br /> The Cal/OSHA PEL is listed as 200 ppm. ,
<br /> The TLV is listed as 200 ppm.
<br /> Ethylbenzene ,
<br /> Ethylbenzene is a clear, colorless liquid. It is mildly toxic by inhalation and skin '
<br /> contact. Inhalation can cause eye, sleep, and pulmonary changes. It is an eye and skin
<br /> irritant at levels as low as 0.1 percent (1,000 ppm) of the vapor in air. At higher
<br /> concentrations, it is extremely irritating at first, then can cause dizziness, irritation of '
<br /> the nose and throat, and a sense of constriction in the chest. Exposure to high
<br /> concentrations of ethylbenzene vapor may result in irritation of the skin and mucous
<br /> membranes, dizziness, irritation of the nose and throat, and a sense of constriction of '
<br /> the chest. The IP for ethylbenzene is listed as 8.76 eV.
<br /> The OSHA PEL is listed as 100 ppm. '
<br /> The Cal/OSHA PEL is listed as 100 ppm.
<br /> The TLV is listed as 100 ppm.
<br /> Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene or PCE) '
<br /> Tetrachloroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene) is a colorless liquid with an '
<br /> ether-like odor. Short-term exposure to PCE may cause headaches, nausea, drowsiness,
<br /> dizziness, uncoordination, unconsciousness, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and
<br /> flushing of the face and neck. In addition, it may cause liver damage with such findings ,
<br /> as yellow jaundice and dark urine. Liver damage may become evident several weeks
<br /> after exposure. Skin contact may create a dry, scaly, itchy dermatitis. PCE is classified
<br /> by the U.S. EPA as a Group B2 probable human carcinogen. The IP for PCE is listed '
<br /> as 9.32 eV.
<br /> The OSHA PEL is listed as 100 ppm. ,
<br /> The Cal/OSHA PEL is listed as 25 ppm.
<br /> The TLV is listed as 25 ppm.
<br /> Gasoline ,
<br /> Gasoline is produced from light distillates during petroleum fractionation, with its ,
<br /> major components including paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, aromatics, and recently
<br /> ethanol. Gasoline also contains various functional additives as required for different
<br /> uses, such as anti-knock fluids, anti-oxidants, metal deactivators, corrosion inhibitors, '
<br /> anti-icing agents, pre-ignition preventers, upper cylinder lubricants, dyes, and
