If California OSHA values were not available, then NIOSH RELs or ACGIH TLVs were listed. <br />California OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (CA PEL)- Legally required exposure limit. <br />NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limit (REL)- Voluntary conservative exposure limit. <br />ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV)- Voluntary exposure limit (updated most frequently). <br />TWA = Time Weighted Average concentrations that must not be exceeded during any 8-hour workshift during a 40-hour workweek. <br />IDLH = Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - a condition that poses a threat of exposure to airborne contaminants when that exposure is likely to cause death, <br />immediate or delayed permanent adverse health effects, or prevent escape from such an environment. EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO EXIT IMMEDIATELY! <br />Flashpoint = the temperature at which the liquid phase gives off enough vapor to flash when exposed to an external ignition source. <br />UEL = upper explosive (flammable) limit in air % by volume. <br />LEL = lower explosive (flammable) limit in air % by volume. <br />ppm = parts per million. <br />inh = inhalation <br />abs = absorption <br />ing = ingestion <br />con = skin and/or eye contact <br />Page 2 of 2 The Source Group, Inc.
