TABLE 2 <br /> HEALTH EFFECTS OF EDB AND DBCP <br /> CHEMICAL NAME EXPOSURE LIMIT ROUTES OF SYMPTOMS CHEMICAL PHYSICAL TARGET <br /> (AIR) EXPOSURE PROPERTIES DESCRIPTION ORGANS <br /> EDB (Ethylene 20 ppm Inhalation, absorption, Irritates respiratory VP 11 mm Colorless liquid Respiratory <br /> dibromide) ingestion, contact system, eyes; MP 50°F or solid with a system, liver, <br /> dermatitis with mild sweet odor kidneys, skin, <br /> vesiculation eyes <br /> DBCP 1 ppb Inhalation, adsorption, Drowsiness, VP 0.8 mm Dense yellow or Central nervous <br /> (Dibromochloropropa contact nausea, vomiting; MP 43°F amber liquid system, skin, <br /> ne) irritates eyes, with a pungent liver, kidney, <br /> nose, throat, skin; odor at high spleen, <br /> pulmonary edema concentrations reproductive <br /> system, <br /> digestive system <br /> These two compounds are listed as carcinogens. Therefore, at any detectable concentrations a SCBA (Self-Contained <br /> Breathing Apparatus) full facepiece respirator should be worn. Ethylene dibromide and Dibromochloropropane can be <br /> detected by using a HNU photoionization detector with a 10.2eV bulb. <br />
