PREFACE

The NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards presents information taken from the 

NIOSH/OSHA Occupational Health Guidelines for Chemical Hazards, from National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) criteria documents and Current 

Intelligence Bulletins, and from recognized references in the fields of industrial hygiene, 

occupational medicine, toxicology, and analytical chemistry. The information is presented 

in tabular form to provide a quick, convenient source of information on general industrial 

hygiene practices. The information in the Pocket Guide includes chemical structures or 

formulas, identification codes, synonyms, exposure limits, chemical and physical 

properties, incompatibilities and reactivities, measurement methods, respirator selections, 

signs and symptoms of exposure, and procedures for emergency treatment. 

The information assembled in the original 1978 printing of the Pocket Guide was the result 

of the Standards Completion Program, a joint effort by NIOSH and the Department of 

Labor to develop supplemental requirements for the approximately 380 workplace 

environmental exposure standards adopted by the Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) in 1971. 

Listed below are changes that were made for this edition of the Pocket Guide: 

• This revision of the Pocket Guide includes a new layout for the Chemical Listing 

section, with information arranged in individual tables for each chemical. 

• Recommendations for particulate respirators have been revised to incorporate 

“Part 84” terminology; “Part 11” terminology has been removed from the 

respirator recommendations. See “Recommendations for Respirator Selection” 

on page xiv for a more thorough explanation of these changes. 

• The Synonym and Trade Name Index has been expanded to include the primary 

chemical name for each of the 677 chemicals listed in the Pocket Guide. This 

index is now called the Chemical, Synonym, and Trade Name Index (page 383). 

• Changes were made to some of the ID Numbers and Guide Numbers to reflect 

changes that the Department of Transportation made in the 2004 Emergency 

Response Guidebook (http://hazmat.dot.gov/pubs/erg/gydebook.htm). 

• The other major change to this edition of the Pocket Guide is that Appendix E 

(page 351) has been revised. It now contains OSHA respirator requirements for 

28 chemicals or hazardous substances that were identified in the preamble to the 

OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134). 

• Other minor technical changes have also been made since the February 2004 

edition. (For the most current information and updates, consult the electronic 

version on the NIOSH Web site: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npg.html.)

INTRODUCTION

The NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards provides a concise source of general 

industrial hygiene information for workers, employers, and occupational health 

professionals. The Pocket Guide presents key information and data in abbreviated tabular 

form for 677 chemicals or substance groupings commonly found in the work environment 

(e.g., manganese compounds, tellurium compounds, inorganic tin compounds, etc.). The 

industrial hygiene information found in the Pocket Guide assists users to recognize and 

control occupational chemical hazards. The chemicals or substances contained in this 

revision include all substances for which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH) has recommended exposure limits (RELs) and those with permissible 

exposure limits (PELs) as found in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 

(OSHA) Occupational Safety and Health Standards (29 CFR 1910.1000 – 1052). 

Background

In 1974, NIOSH (which is responsible for recommending health and safety standards) 

joined OSHA (whose jurisdictions include promulgation and enforcement activities) in 

developing a series of occupational health standards for substances with existing PELs. 

This joint effort was labeled the Standards Completion Program and involved the 

cooperative efforts of several contractors and personnel from various divisions within 

NIOSH and OSHA. The Standards Completion Program developed 380 substance-specific 

draft standards with supporting documentation that contained technical information and 

recommendations needed for the promulgation of new occupational health regulations. The 

Pocket Guide was developed to make the technical information in those draft standards 

more conveniently available to workers, employers, and occupational health professionals. 

The Pocket Guide is updated periodically to reflect new data regarding the toxicity of 

various substances and any changes in exposure standards or recommendations. (For the 

most current information and updates, consult the electronic version on the NIOSH Web 

site: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npg.html.) 

Data Collection and Application

The data collected for this revision were derived from a variety of sources, including 

NIOSH policy documents such as criteria documents and Current Intelligence Bulletins 

(CIBs), and recognized references in the fields of industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, 

toxicology, and analytical chemistry. 

NIOSH RECOMMENDATIONS

 

Acting under the authority of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 USC 

Chapter 15) and the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (30 USC Chapter 22), 

NIOSH develops and periodically revises recommended exposure limits (RELs) for 

hazardous substances or conditions in the workplace. NIOSH also recommends appropriate 

preventive measures to reduce or eliminate the adverse health and safety effects of these 
viii

hazards. To formulate these recommendations, NIOSH evaluates all known and available 

medical, biological, engineering, chemical, trade, and other information relevant to the 

hazard. These recommendations are then published and transmitted to OSHA and the Mine 

Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for use in promulgating legal standards. 

NIOSH recommendations are published in a variety of documents. Criteria documents 

recommend workplace exposure limits and appropriate preventive measures to reduce or 

eliminate adverse health effects and accidental injuries. 

Current Intelligence Bulletins (CIBs) are issued to disseminate new scientific information 

about occupational hazards. A CIB may draw attention to a formerly unrecognized hazard, 

report new data on a known hazard, or present information on hazard control. 

Alerts, Special Hazard Reviews, Occupational Hazard Assessments, and Technical 

Guidelines support and complement the other standard development activities of the 

Institute. Their purpose is to assess the safety and health problems associated with a given 

agent or hazard (e.g., the potential for injury or for carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic 

effects) and to recommend appropriate control and surveillance methods. Although these 

documents are not intended to supplant the more comprehensive criteria documents, they 

are prepared in order to assist OSHA and MSHA in the formulation of regulations. 

In addition to these publications, NIOSH periodically presents testimony before various 

Congressional committees and at OSHA and MSHA rulemaking hearings. 

Recommendations made through 1992 are available in a single compendium entitled 

NIOSH Recommendations for Occupational Safety and Health: Compendium of Policy 

Documents and Statements [DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 92-100] 

(http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/92-100.html). More recent recommendations are available on 

the NIOSH Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh). Copies of the Compendium may be 

ordered from the NIOSH Publications office (800-356-4674). 

HOW TO USE THIS POCKET GUIDE

The Pocket Guide has been designed to provide chemical-specific data to supplement 

general industrial hygiene knowledge. Individual tables for each chemical present this data 

in the Chemical Listing section (page 1). To maximize the amount of data provided in the 

limited space in these tables, abbreviations and codes have been used extensively. These 

abbreviations and codes, which have been designed to permit rapid comprehension by the 

regular user, are discussed for each field in these chemical tables in the following 

subsections. 

Chemical Name

The chemical name found in the OSHA General Industry Air Contaminants Standard (29 

CFR 1910.1000) is listed in the blue box in the top left portion of each chemical table. This 

name is referred to as the “primary name” in the Chemical, Synonym, and Trade Name 

Index (page 383). 
ix

Structure/Formula

The chemical structure or formula is listed in the field to the right of the chemical name in 

each chemical table. Carbon-carbon double bonds (-C=C-) and carbon-carbon triple bonds 

(-C≡C-) have been indicated where applicable. 

CAS Number

This section lists the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number. The CAS 

number, in the format xxx-xx-x, is unique for each chemical and allows efficient searching 

on computerized data bases. A page index for all CAS registry numbers listed is included 

at the back of the Pocket Guide (page 374) to help the user locate a specific substance. 

RTECS Number

This section lists the NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS®) 

number, in the format ABxxxxxxx. RTECS® may be useful for obtaining additional 

toxicologic information on a specific substance. 

RTECS® is a compendium of data extracted from the open scientific literature. On 

December 18, 2001, CDC’s Technology Transfer Office, on behalf of NIOSH, successfully 

completed negotiating a “PHS Trademark Licensing Agreement” for RTECS®. This nonexclusive licensing agreement provides for the transfer and continued development of the 

“RTECS® database and its trademark” to MDL Information Systems, Inc. (MDL), a wholly 

owned subsidiary of Elsevier Science, Inc. Under this agreement, MDL will be responsible 

for updating, licensing, marketing, and distributing RTECS®. For more information visit 

the MDL Web site (http://www.mdli.com). 

The RTECS® entries for chemicals listed in the Pocket Guide can be viewed on the NIOSH 

Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npg.html) or on the CD-ROM version of the 

Pocket Guide (see page iii for ordering information). 

IDLH

This section lists the immediately dangerous to life or health concentrations (IDLHs). For 

the June 1994 Edition of the Pocket Guide, NIOSH reviewed and in many cases revised the 

IDLH values. The criteria utilized to determine the adequacy of the original IDLH values 

were a combination of those used during the Standards Completion Program and a newer 

methodology developed by NIOSH. These “interim” criteria formed a tiered approach, 

preferentially using acute human toxicity data, followed by acute animal inhalation toxicity 

data, and then by acute animal oral toxicity data to determine a preliminary updated IDLH 

value. When relevant acute toxicity data were insufficient or unavailable, NIOSH also 

considered using chronic toxicity data or an analogy to a chemically similar substance. 

NIOSH then compared these preliminary values with the following criteria to determine the 

updated IDLH value: 10% of lower explosive limit (LEL); acute animal respiratory 

irritation data (RD50); other short-term exposure guidelines; and the NIOSH Respirator 

Selection Logic (DHHS [NIOSH] Publication No. 2005-100; 
x

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2005-100). The Documentation for Immediately 

Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (NTIS Publication Number PB-94-195047) 

further describes these criteria and provides information sources for both the original and 

revised IDLH values (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/idlh/idlh-1.html). NIOSH currently is 

assessing the various uses of IDLHs, whether the criteria used to derive the IDLH values 

are valid, and if other information or criteria should be utilized. 

The purpose for establishing an IDLH value in the Standards Completion Program was to 

determine the airborne concentration from which a worker could escape without injury or 

irreversible health effects from an IDLH exposure in the event of the failure of respiratory 

protection equipment. The IDLH was considered a maximum concentration above which 

only a highly reliable breathing apparatus providing maximum worker protection should be 

permitted. In determining IDLH values, NIOSH considered the ability of a worker to 

escape without loss of life or irreversible health effects along with certain transient effects, 

such as severe eye or respiratory irritation, disorientation, and incoordination, which could 

prevent escape. As a safety margin, IDLH values are based on effects that might occur as a 

consequence of a 30-minute exposure. However, the 30-minute period was NOT meant to 

imply that workers should stay in the work environment any longer than necessary; in fact, 

EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO EXIT IMMEDIATELY! 

The NIOSH Respirator Selection Logic defines IDLH exposure conditions as “conditions 

that pose an immediate threat to life or health, or conditions that pose an immediate threat 

of severe exposure to contaminants, such as radioactive materials, which are likely to have 

adverse cumulative or delayed effects on health.” The purpose of establishing an IDLH 

exposure concentration is to ensure that the worker can escape from a given contaminated 

environment in the event of failure of the respiratory protection equipment. The Respirator 

Selection Logic uses IDLH values as one of several respirator selection criteria. Under the 

Respirator Selection Logic, the most protective respirators (e.g., a self-contained breathing 

apparatus equipped with a full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other 

positive-pressure mode) would be selected for firefighting, exposure to carcinogens, entry 

into oxygen-deficient atmospheres, in emergency situations, during entry into an 

atmosphere that contains a substance at a concentration greater than 2,000 times the NIOSH 

REL or OSHA PEL, and for entry into IDLH atmospheres. IDLH values are listed in the 

Pocket Guide for over 380 substances. 

The notation “Ca” appears in the IDLH field for all substances that NIOSH considers 

potential occupational carcinogens. However, IDLH values that were originally determined 

in the Standards Completion Program or were subsequently revised are shown in brackets 

following the “Ca” designations. “10%LEL” indicates that the IDLH was based on 10% 

of the lower explosive limit for safety considerations even though the relevant toxicological 

data indicated that irreversible health effects or impairment of escape existed only at higher 

concentrations. “N.D.” indicates that an IDLH value has not been determined for that 

substance. Appendix F (page 361) contains an explanation of the “Effective” IDLHs used 

for four chloronaphthalene compounds. 
xi

Conversion Factors

This section lists factors for the conversion of ppm (parts of vapor or gas per million parts 

of contaminated air by volume) to mg/m3

 (milligrams of vapor or gas per cubic meter of 

contaminated air) at 25°C and 1 atmosphere for chemicals with exposure limits expressed in 

ppm. 

DOT ID and Guide Number

This section lists the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Identification numbers and 

the corresponding Guide numbers. Their format is xxxx yyy. The Identification (ID) 

number (xxxx) indicates that the chemical is regulated by DOT. The Guide number (yyy) 

refers to actions to be taken to stabilize an emergency situation; this information can be 

found in the 2004 Emergency Response Guidebook (Office of Hazardous Materials 

Initiatives and Training [DHM-50], Research and Special Programs Administration, U.S. 

Department of Transportation, 400 7th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590-0001; for sale 

by the U.S. Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, P.O. Box 371954, 

Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954). This information is also available on the CD-ROM and Web 

site versions of the Pocket Guide (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npg.html). A page index 

for all DOT ID numbers listed is provided on page 379 to help the user locate a specific 

substance; please note however, that many DOT numbers are not unique for a specific 

substance. 

Synonyms and Trade Names

This section contains an alphabetical list of common synonyms and trade names for each 

chemical. A page index for all chemical names, synonyms, and trade names listed in the 

Pocket Guide is included on page 383. 

Exposure Limits

The NIOSH recommended exposure limits (RELs) are listed first in this section. For 

NIOSH RELs, “TWA” indicates a time-weighted average concentration for up to a 10-hour 

workday during a 40-hour workweek. A short-term exposure limit (STEL) is designated by 

“ST” preceding the value; unless noted otherwise, the STEL is a 15-minute TWA exposure 

that should not be exceeded at any time during a workday. A ceiling REL is designated by 

“C” preceding the value; unless noted otherwise, the ceiling value should not be exceeded 

at any time. Any substance that NIOSH considers to be a potential occupational carcinogen 

is designated by the notation “Ca” (see Appendix A [page 342], which contains a brief 

discussion of potential occupational carcinogens). 

The OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs), as found in Tables Z-1, Z-2, and Z-3 of the 

OSHA General Industry Air Contaminants Standard (29 CFR 1910.1000), that were 

effective on July 1, 1993* and which are currently enforced by OSHA are listed next. 

*In July 1992, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in its decision in 

AFL-CIO v. OSHA, 965 F.2d 962 (11th Cir., 1992) vacated more protective 

PELs set by OSHA in 1989 for 212 substances, moving them back to PELs 
xii

established in 1971. The appeals court also vacated new PELs for 164 

substances that were not previously regulated. Enforcement of the court 

decision began on June 30, 1993. Although OSHA is currently enforcing 

exposure limits in Tables Z-1, Z-2, and Z-3 of 29 CFR 1910.1000 which 

were in effect before 1989, violations of the “general duty clause” as 

contained in Section 5(a) (1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 

may be considered when worker exposures exceed the 1989 PELs for the 

164 substances that were not previously regulated. The substances for 

which OSHA PELs were vacated on June 30, 1993 are indicated by the 

symbol “†” following OSHA in this section and previous values (the PELs 

that were vacated) are listed in Appendix G (page 362). 

TWA concentrations for OSHA PELs must not be exceeded during any 8-hour workshift of 

a 40-hour workweek. A STEL is designated by “ST” preceding the value and is measured 

over a 15-minute period unless noted otherwise. OSHA ceiling concentrations (designated 

by “C” preceding the value) must not be exceeded during any part of the workday; if 

instantaneous monitoring is not feasible, the ceiling must be assessed as a 

15-minute TWA exposure. In addition, there are a number of substances from Table Z-2 

(e.g., beryllium, ethylene dibromide) that have PEL ceiling values that must not be 

exceeded except for specified excursions. For example, a “5-minute maximum peak in any 

2 hours” means that a 5-minute exposure above the ceiling value, but never above the 

maximum peak, is allowed in any 2 hours during an 8-hour workday. Appendix B (page 

344) contains a brief discussion of substances regulated as carcinogens by OSHA. 

Concentrations are given in ppm, mg/m3

, mppcf (millions of particles per cubic foot of air 

as determined from counting an impinger sample), or fibers/cm3

 (fibers per cubic 

centimeter). The “[skin]” designation indicates the potential for dermal absorption; skin 

exposure should be prevented as necessary through the use of good work practices, gloves, 

coveralls, goggles, and other appropriate equipment. The “(total)” designation indicates 

that the REL or PEL listed is for "total particulate" versus the “(resp)” designation which 

refers to the “respirable fraction” of the airborne particulate. 

Appendix C (page 345) contains more detailed discussions of the specific exposure limits 

for certain low-molecular-weight aldehydes, asbestos, various dyes (benzidine-, o-tolidine-, 

and o-dianisidine-based), carbon black, chloroethanes, the various chromium compounds 

(chromic acid and chromates, chromium(II) and chromium(III) compounds, and chromium 

metal), coal tar pitch volatiles, coke oven emissions, cotton dust, lead, mineral dusts, 

NIAX® Catalyst ESN, trichloroethylene, and tungsten carbide (cemented). Appendix D 

(page 350) contains a brief discussion of substances included in the Pocket Guide with no 

established RELs at this time. Appendix F (page 361) contains information regarding the 

OSHA PEL for benzene and IDLH values for four chloronaphthalene compounds, and 

Appendix G (page 362) lists the OSHA PELS that were vacated on June 30, 1993. 

Measurement Methods

The section provides a source (NIOSH or OSHA) and the corresponding method number 

for measurement methods which can be used to determine the exposure for the chemical or 
xiii

substance. Unless otherwise noted, the NIOSH methods are from the 4th edition of the 

NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods (DHHS [NIOSH] Publication 

No. 94-113 [http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/nmam]) and supplements. If a different edition of 

the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods is cited, the appropriate edition and, where 

applicable, the volume number are noted [e.g., II-4 (2nd edition, volume 4)]. The OSHA 

methods are from the OSHA Web site (http://www.osha-slc.gov/dts/sltc/methods). “None 

available” means that no method is available from NIOSH or OSHA. Table 1 (page xvii) 

lists the editions, volumes, and supplements of the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods. 

Each method listed is the recommended method for the analysis of the compound of 

interest. However, the method may not have been fully optimized to meet the specific 

sampling situation. Note that some methods are only partially evaluated and have been 

used in very limited sampling situations. Review the details of the method and consult with 

the laboratory performing the analysis regarding the applicability of the method and the 

need for further modifications to the method in order to adjust for the particular conditions. 

Physical Description

A brief description of the appearance and odor of each substance is provided in the physical 

description section. Notations are made as to whether a substance can be shipped as a 

liquefied compressed gas or whether it has major use as a pesticide.

Personal Protection and Sanitation

This section presents a summary of recommended practices for each substance. These 

recommendations supplement general work practices (e.g., no eating, drinking, or smoking 

where chemicals are used) and should be followed if additional controls are needed after 

using all feasible process, equipment, and task controls. Table 2 (page xviii) explains the 

codes used. Each category is described as follows: 

SKIN................. Recommends the need for personal protective clothing. 

EYES................ Recommends the need for eye protection. 

WASH SKIN...... Recommends when workers should wash the spilled chemical 

 from the body in addition to normal washing (e.g., before eating). 

REMOVE.............. Advises workers when to remove clothing that has accidentally 

 become wet or significantly contaminated. 

CHANGE............. Recommends whether routine changing of clothing is needed. 

PROVIDE............ Recommends the need for eyewash fountains and/or quick drench 

 facilities. 

Recommendations for Respirator Selection

This section provides a condensed table of allowable respirators to be used for those 

substances for which IDLH values have been determined, or for which NIOSH has 

previously provided respirator recommendations (e.g., in criteria documents or Current 

Intelligence Bulletins) for certain chemicals. There are, however, 186 chemicals listed in 
xv

the Pocket Guide for which IDLH values have yet to be determined. Since the IDLH value 

is a critical component for completing the Respirator Selection Logic for a given chemical, 

the Pocket Guide does not provide respiratory recommendations for those 186 chemicals 

without IDLH values. As new or revised IDLH values are developed for those and other 

chemicals, NIOSH will provide appropriate respirator recommendations. (Updated 

information on the Pocket Guide can be found on the NIOSH Web site 

(http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npg.html) and will be incorporated into subsequent editions 

of the Pocket Guide. [Appendix F (page 361) contains an explanation of the “Effective” 

IDLHs used for four chloronaphthalene compounds.] 

In 1995, NIOSH developed a new set of regulations in 42 CFR 84 (also referred to as “Part 

84”) for testing and certifying non-powered, air-purifying, particulate-filter respirators. The 

new Part 84 respirators have passed a more demanding certification test than the old 

respirators (e.g., dust; dust and mist; dust, mist, and fume; spray paint; pesticide) certified 

under 30 CFR 11 (also referred to as “Part 11”). Recommendations for non-powered, airpurifying particulate respirators have been updated from previous editions of the Pocket 

Guide to incorporate Part 84 respirators; Part 11 terminology has been removed. See Table 

4 (page xxv) for information concerning the selection of N-, R-, or P-series (Part 84) 

particulate respirators. 

In January 1998, OSHA revised its respiratory protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134). 

Among the provisions in the revised standard is the requirement for an end-of-service-life 

indicator (ESLI) or a change schedule when air-purifying respirators with chemical 

cartridges or canisters are used for protection against gases and vapors 

[29 CFR 1910.134(d)(3)(iii)]. (Note: All respirator codes containing “Ccr” or “Ov” are 

covered by this requirement.) In the Pocket Guide, air-purifying respirators (without 

ESLIs) for protection against gases and vapors are recommended only for chemicals with 

adequate warning properties, but now these respirators may be selected regardless of the 

warning properties. Respirator recommendations in the Pocket Guide have not been revised 

in this edition to reflect the OSHA requirements for ESLIs or change schedules. 

Appendix A (page 342) lists the NIOSH carcinogen policy. Respirator recommendations 

for carcinogens in the Pocket Guide have not been revised to reflect this policy; these 

recommendations will be revised in future editions. 

The first line in the entry indicates whether the “NIOSH” or the “OSHA” exposure limit is 

used on which to base the respirator recommendations. The more protective limit between 

the NIOSH REL or the OSHA PEL is always used. “NIOSH/OSHA” indicates that the 

limits are equivalent. 

Each subsequent line lists a maximum use concentration (MUC) followed by the classes of 

respirators that are acceptable for use up to the MUC. Codes for the various categories of 

respirators, and Assigned Protection Factors (APFs) for these respirators, are listed in Table 

3 (page xx). Individual respirator classes are separated by diagonal lines (/). More 

protective respirators may be worn. The symbol “§” is followed by the classes of 

respirators that are acceptable for emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations 

or entry into IDLH conditions. “Escape” indicates that the respirators are to be used only 
xvi

for escape purposes. For each MUC or condition, this entry lists only those respirators with 

the required APF and other use restrictions based on the NIOSH Respirator Selection Logic. 

All respirators selected must be approved by NIOSH under the provisions of 42 CFR 84. 

The current listing of NIOSH/MSHA certified respirators can be found in the NIOSH 

Certified Equipment List, which is available on the NIOSH Web site 

(http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/cel). 

A complete respiratory protection program must be implemented and must fulfill all 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.134. A respiratory protection program must include a written 

standard operating procedure covering regular training, fit-testing, fit-checking, periodic 

environmental monitoring, maintenance, medical monitoring, inspection, cleaning, storage 

and periodic program evaluation. Selection of a specific respirator within a given class of 

recommended respirators depends on the particular situation; this choice should be made 

only by a knowledgeable person. REMEMBER: Air-purifying respirators will not protect 

users against oxygen-deficient atmospheres, and they are not to be used in IDLH 

conditions. The only respirators recommended for fire fighting are self-contained breathing 

apparatuses that have full facepieces and are operated in a pressure-demand or other 

positive-pressure mode. Additional information on the selection and use of respirators can 

be found in the NIOSH Respirator Selection Logic (DHHS [NIOSH] Publication No. 

2005-100) and the NIOSH Guide to Industrial Respiratory Protection (DHHS [NIOSH] 

Publication No. 87-116), which are available on the Respirator Topic Page on the NIOSH 

Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators). 

Incompatibilities and Reactivities

This section lists important hazardous incompatibilities or reactivities for each substance. 

Exposure Routes, Symptoms, and Target Organs

The first row for each substance in this section lists the toxicologically important entry 

routes (ER) and whether contact with the skin or eyes is potentially hazardous. The second 

row lists the potential symptoms of exposure (SY) and whether NIOSH considers the 

substance a potential occupational carcinogen ([carc]). The third row lists target organs 

(TO) affected by exposure to the substance (for carcinogens, the types of cancer are listed 

in brackets). Information in this section reflects human data unless otherwise noted. 

Abbreviations are defined in Table 5 (page xxvi). 

First Aid

This section lists emergency procedures for eye and skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion 

of the toxic substance. Abbreviations are defined in Table 6 (page xxviii).

Table 4 

Selection of N-, R-, or P-Series Particulate Respirators

1. The selection of N-, R-, and P-series filters depends on the presence of oil particles as 

follows: 

● If no oil particles are present in the work environment, use a filter of any series 

(i.e., N-, R-, or P-series). 

●

If oil particles (e.g., lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine) are present, use an 

R- or P-series filter. Note: N-series filters cannot be used if oil particles are 

present. 

● If oil particles are present and the filter is to be used for more than one work shift, use 

only a P-series filter. 

Note: To help you remember the filter series, use the following guide:

N for Not resistant to oil, 

R for Resistant to oil, 

P for oil Proof. 

2. Selection of filter efficiency (i.e., 95%, 99%, or 99.7%) depends on how much filter leakage 

can be accepted. Higher filter efficiency means lower filter leakage. 

3. The choice of facepiece depends on the level of protection needed – that is, the assigned 

protection factor (APF) needed. See Table 3 (page xx) for APFs of respirator classes, and 

see Recommendations for Respirator Selection (page xiv) for more information.

 NIOSH POTENTIAL OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGENS

New Policy (Adopted September 1995)

For the past 20 plus years, NIOSH has subscribed to a carcinogen policy that was published 

in 1976 by Edward J. Fairchild, II, Associate Director for Cincinnati Operations, which called for 

“no detectable exposure levels for proven carcinogenic substances” (Annals of the New York

Academy of Sciences, 271:200-207, 1976). This was in response to a generic OSHA rulemaking 

on carcinogens. Because of advances in science and in approaches to risk assessment and risk 

management, NIOSH has adopted a more inclusive policy. NIOSH recommended exposure 

limits (RELs) will be based on risk evaluations using human or animal health effects data, and on 

an assessment of what levels can be feasibly achieved by engineering controls and measured by

analytical techniques. To the extent feasible, NIOSH will project not only a no effect exposure,

but also exposure levels at which there may be residual risks. This policy applies to all 

workplace hazards, including carcinogens, and is responsive to Section 20(a)(3) of the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which charges NIOSH to “. . .describe exposure

levels that are safe for various periods of employment, including but not limited to the exposure

levels at which no employee will suffer impaired health or functional capacities or diminished

life expectancy as a result of his work experience.” 

The effect of this new policy will be the development, whenever possible, of quantitative 

RELs that are based on human and/or animal data, as well as on the consideration of 

technological feasibility for controlling workplace exposures to the REL. Under the old policy,

RELs for most carcinogens were non-quantitative values labeled “lowest feasible concentration 

(LFC).” [Note: There are a few exceptions to LFC RELs for carcinogens (e.g., RELs for

asbestos, formaldehyde, benzene, and ethylene oxide are quantitative values based primarily on

analytical limits of detection or technological feasibility). Also, in 1989, NIOSH adopted several 

quantitative RELs for carcinogens from OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) update.]

Under the new policy, NIOSH will also recommend the complete range of respirators (as 

determined by the NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic) for carcinogens with quantitative RELs.

In this way, respirators will be consistently recommended regardless of whether a substance is a 

carcinogen or a non-carcinogen.

NIOSH POTENTIAL OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGENS

Old Policy

In the past, NIOSH identified numerous substances that should be treated as potential 

occupational carcinogens even though OSHA might not have identified them as such. In

determining their carcinogenicity, NIOSH used the OSHA classification outlined in

29 CFR 1990.103, which states in part: 

Potential occupational carcinogen means any substance, or combination or

mixture of substances, which causes an increased incidence of benign and/or 

malignant neoplasms, or a substantial decrease in the latency period between 

exposure and onset of neoplasms in humans or in one or more experimental 

mammalian species as the result of any oral, respiratory or dermal exposure, or 

any other exposure which results in the induction of tumors at a site other than 

the site of administration. This definition also includes any substance which is 

metabolized into one or more potential occupational carcinogens by mammals. 

When thresholds for carcinogens that would protect 100% of the population had not been

identified, NIOSH usually recommended that occupational exposures to carcinogens be limited 

to the lowest feasible concentration. To ensure maximum protection from carcinogens through

the use of respiratory protection, NIOSH also recommended that only the most reliable and 

protective respirators be used. These respirators include (1) a self-contained breathing apparatus

(SCBA) that has a full facepiece and is operated in a positive pressure mode, or (2) a supplied air

respirator that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure demand or other positive pressure 

mode in combination with an auxiliary SCBA operated in a pressure demand or other positive 

pressure mode. 

Recommendations to be Revised

The RELs and respirator recommendations for carcinogens listed in this edition of the 

Pocket Guide still reflect the old policy. Changes in the RELs and respirator recommendations 

that reflect the new policy will be included in future editions.

THIRTEEN OSHA-REGULATED CARCINOGENS

Without establishing PELs, OSHA promulgated standards in 1974 to regulate the industrial 

use of the following 13 chemicals identified as potential occupational carcinogens: 

• 2-Acetylaminofluorene 

• 4-Aminodiphenyl

• Benzidine 

• bis-Chloromethyl ether 

• 3,3'-Dichlorobenzidine 

• 4-Dimethylaminoazobenzene 

• Ethyleneimine 

• Methyl chloromethyl ether 

• α-Naphthylamine 

• β-Naphthylamine 

• 4-Nitrobiphenyl 

• N-Nitrosodimethylamine 

• β-Propiolactone

Exposures of workers to these 13 chemicals are to be controlled through the required use of

engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment, including respirators. 

OSHA respirator requirements for these chemicals are provided in Appendix E (page 351). See 

29 CFR 1910.1003 - 1910.1016 for more specific details of these requirements.

C 

Exposure to acetaldehyde has produced nasal tumors in rats and laryngeal tumors in 

hamsters, and exposure to malonaldehyde has produced thyroid gland and pancreatic islet cell 

tumors in rats. NIOSH therefore recommends that acetaldehyde and malonaldehyde be

considered potential occupational carcinogens in conformance with the OSHA carcinogen policy. 

Testing has not been completed to determine the carcinogenicity of the following nine related 

low-molecular-weight aldehydes: 

• Acrolein (CAS# 107-02-8) 

• Butyraldehyde (CAS# 123-72-8) 

• Crotonaldehyde (CAS# 4170-30-3)

• Glutaraldehyde (CAS# 111-30-8) 

• Glyoxal (CAS# 107-22-2) 

• Paraformaldehyde (CAS# 30525-89-4) 

• Propiolaldehyde (CAS# 624-67-9) 

• Propionaldehyde (CAS# 123-38-6) 

• n-Valeraldehyde (CAS# 110-62-3) 

However, the limited studies to date indicate that these substances have chemical reactivity and 

mutagenicity similar to acetaldehyde and malonaldehyde. Therefore, NIOSH recommends that 

careful consideration should be given to reducing exposures to these nine related aldehydes. 

Further information can be found in NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 55: Carcinogenicity of

Acetaldehyde and Malonaldehyde, and Mutagenicity of Related Low-Molecular-Weight 

Aldehydes [DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 91-112]. This document is available on the NIOSH

Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/91112_55.html).

Asbestos

NIOSH considers asbestos to be a potential occupational carcinogen and recommends that 

exposures be reduced to the lowest feasible concentration. For asbestos fibers >5 micrometers in

length, NIOSH recommends a REL of 100,000 fibers per cubic meter of air (100,000 fibers/m3

),

which is equal to 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 fiber/cm3

), as determined by a 400-liter

air sample collected over 100 minutes in accordance with NIOSH Analytical Method #7400. 

Airborne asbestos fibers are defined as those particles having (1) an aspect ratio of 3 to 1 or 

greater and (2) the mineralogic characteristics (that is, the crystal structure and elemental 

composition) of the asbestos minerals and their nonasbestiform analogs. The asbestos minerals

are defined as chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite (cummingtonite-grunerite), anthophyllite, 

tremolite, and actinolite. In addition, airborne cleavage fragments from the nonasbestiform

habits of the serpentine minerals antigorite and lizardite, and the amphibole minerals contained in

the series cummingtonite-grunerite, tremolite-ferroactinolite, and glaucophane-riebeckite should 

also be counted as fibers provided they meet the criteria for a fiber when viewed microscopically. 

As found in 29 CFR 1910.1001, the OSHA PEL for asbestos fibers (i.e., actinolite asbestos,

amosite, anthophyllite asbestos, chrysotile, crocidolite, and tremolite asbestos) is an 8-hour TWA 

airborne concentration of 0.1 fiber (longer than 5 micrometers and having a length to diameter 

ratio of at least 3 to 1) per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 fiber/cm3

), as determined by the membrane 

filter method at approximately 400X magnification with phase contrast illumination. No worker

should be exposed in excess of 1 fiber/cm3

 (excursion limit) as averaged over a sampling period 

of 30 minutes.

In December 1980, OSHA and NIOSH jointly published the Health Hazard Alert: 

Benzidine-, o-Tolidine-, and o-Dianisidine-based Dyes [DHHS (NIOSH) Publication

No. 81-106] (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/81-106.html). In this Alert, OSHA and NIOSH 

concluded that benzidine and benzidine-based dyes were potential occupational carcinogens and

recommended that worker exposure be reduced to the lowest feasible level. OSHA and NIOSH

further concluded that o-tolidine and o-dianisidine (and dyes based on them) may present a

cancer risk to workers and should be handled with caution and exposure minimized.

Carbon Black

NIOSH considers “Carbon Black” to be the material consisting of more than 80% elemental 

carbon, in the form of near-spherical colloidal particles and coalesced particle aggregates of

colloidal size, that is obtained by the partial combustion or thermal decomposition of 

hydrocarbons. The NIOSH REL (10-hour TWA) for carbon black is 3.5 mg/m3

. Polycyclic

aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particulate polycyclic organic material (PPOM), and polynuclear 

aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs) are terms frequently used to describe various petroleum-based 

substances that NIOSH considers to be potential occupational carcinogens. Since some of these 

aromatic hydrocarbons may be formed during the manufacture of carbon black (and become 

adsorbed on the carbon black), the NIOSH REL (10-hour TWA) for carbon black in the

presence of PAHs is 0.1 mg PAHs/m3

 (measured as the cyclohexane-extractable fraction). The

OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) for carbon black is 3.5 mg/m3

. 

Chloroethanes

NIOSH considers the following four chemicals to be potential occupational carcinogens:

• Ethylene dichloride 

• Hexachloroethane 

• 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane 

• 1,1,2-Trichloroethane

Additionally, NIOSH recommends that the following five other chloroethane compounds be

treated in the workplace with caution because of their structural similarity to the four 

chloroethanes shown to be carcinogenic in animals: 

• 1,1-Dichloroethane 

• Ethyl chloride 

• Methyl chloroform 

• Pentachloroethane

• 1,1,1,2-Tetrachloroethane

The NIOSH REL (10-hour TWA) is 0.001 mg Cr(VI)/m3 for all hexavalent chromium 

[Cr(VI)] compounds. NIOSH considers all Cr(VI) compounds (including chromic acid, 

tert-butyl chromate, zinc chromate, and chromyl chloride) to be potential occupational

carcinogens. The NIOSH REL (8-hour TWA) is 0.5 mg Cr/m3

 for chromium metal and 

chromium(II) and chromium(III) compounds. 

The OSHA PEL is 0.1 mg CrO3/m3

 (ceiling) for chromic acid and chromates (including

tert-butyl chromate with a “skin” designation and zinc chromate); 0.5 mg Cr/m3

 (8-hour TWA)

for chromium(II) and chromium(III) compounds; and 1 mg Cr/m3 (8-hour TWA) for chromium 

metal and insoluble salts.

Coal Tar Pitch Volatiles

NIOSH considers coal tar products (i.e., coal tar, coal tar pitch, or creosote) to be potential 

occupational carcinogens; the NIOSH REL (10-hour TWA) for coal tar products is 0.1 mg/m3

(cyclohexane-extractable fraction). 

The OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) for coal tar pitch volatiles is 0.2 mg/m3

 (benzene-soluble 

fraction). OSHA defines “coal tar pitch volatiles” in 29 CFR 1910.1002 as the fused polycyclic 

hydrocarbons that volatilize from the distillation residues of coal, petroleum (excluding asphalt),

wood, and other organic matter and includes substances such as anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene

(BaP), phenanthrene, acridine, chrysene, pyrene, etc. 

Coke Oven Emissions

 

The production of coke by the carbonization of bituminous coal leads to the release of 

chemically-complex emissions from coke ovens that include both gases and particulate matter of 

varying chemical composition. The emissions include coal tar pitch volatiles (e.g., particulate 

polycyclic organic matter [PPOM], polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs], and polynuclear 

aromatic hydrocarbons [PNAs]), aromatic compounds (e.g., benzene and β-naphthylamine), trace

metals (e.g., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, and nickel), and gases (e.g., nitric 

oxides and sulfur dioxide). 

Cotton Dust (raw)

NIOSH recommends reducing exposures to cotton dust to the lowest feasible concentration 

to reduce the prevalence and severity of byssinosis; the REL is <0.200 mg/m3

 (as lint free cotton 

dust). 

As found in OSHA Table Z-1 (29 CFR 1910.1000), the PEL for cotton dust (raw) is 

1 mg/m3

 for the cotton waste processing operations of waste recycling (sorting, blending, 

cleaning, and willowing) and garnetting. PELs for other sectors (as found in 29 CFR 1910.1043) 

are 0.200 mg/m3

 for yarn manufacturing and cotton washing operations, 0.500 mg/m3 for textile 

mill waste house operations or for dust from “lower grade washed cotton” used during yarn

manufacturing, and 0.750 mg/m3

 for textile slashing and weaving operations. The OSHA 

standard 29 CFR 1910.1043 does not apply to cotton harvesting, ginning, or the handling and 

processing of woven or knitted materials and washed cotton. All PELs for cotton dust are mean 

concentrations of lint-free, respirable cotton dust collected by a vertical elutriator or an 

equivalent method and averaged over an 8-hour period. 

Lead

NIOSH considers “Lead” to mean metallic lead, lead oxides, and lead salts (including 

organic salts such as lead soaps but excluding lead arsenate). The NIOSH REL for lead (10-hour

TWA) is 0.050 mg/m3

; air concentrations should be maintained so that worker blood lead

remains less than 0.060 mg Pb/100 g of whole blood. 

OSHA considers “Lead” to mean metallic lead, all inorganic lead compounds (lead oxides 

and lead salts), and a class of organic compounds called soaps; all other lead compounds are

excluded from this definition. The OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) is 0.050 mg/m3

; other OSHA 

requirements can be found in 29 CFR 1910.1025. The OSHA PEL (8 hour-TWA) for lead in

“non-ferrous foundries with less than 20 employees” is 0.075 mg/m3

. 

Mineral Dusts

The OSHA PELS for “mineral dusts” listed below are from Table Z-3 of

29 CFR 1910.1000. The OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) for crystalline silica (as respirable quartz) 

is either 250 mppcf divided by the value “%SiO2 + 5” or 10 mg/m3

 divided by the value 

“%SiO2 + 2.” The OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) for crystalline silica (as total quartz) is 30 mg/m3

divided by the value “%SiO2 + 2.” The OSHA PELs (8-hour TWAs) for cristobalite and 

tridymite are 1⁄2 the values calculated above using the count or mass formulae for quartz.

The OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) for amorphous silica (including diatomaceous earth) is 

either 80 mg/m3

 divided by the value “%SiO2,” or 20 mppcf. 

The OSHA PELs (8-hour TWAs) for talc (not containing asbestos), mica, and soapstone are

20 mppcf. The OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) for portland cement is 50 mppcf. The OSHA PEL 

(8-hour TWA) for graphite (natural) is 15 mppcf. The PELs for talc (not containing asbestos), 

mica, soapstone, and portland cement are applicable if the material contains less than 1% 

crystalline silica.

The OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) for coal dust (as the respirable fraction) containing less than 

5% SiO2 is 2.4 mg/m3

 divided by the value “%SiO2 + 2.” The OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) for 

coal dust (as the respirable fraction) containing greater than or equal to 5% SiO2 is 10 mg/m3

divided by the value “%SiO2 + 2.”

In May 1978, OSHA and NIOSH jointly published Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) 26: 

NIAX® Catalyst ESN. In this CIB, OSHA and NIOSH recommended that occupational exposure

to NIAX® Catalyst ESN, its components, dimethylaminopropionitrile and 

bis(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)ether, as well as formulations containing either component, be

minimized. Exposures should be limited to as few workers as possible, while minimizing 

workplace exposure concentrations with effective work practices and engineering controls. 

Exposed workers should be carefully monitored for potential disorders of the nervous and 

genitourinary system. Although substitution is a possible control measure, alternatives to

NIAX® Catalyst ESN or its components should be carefully evaluated with regard to possible

adverse health effects. 

Trichloroethylene

NIOSH considers trichloroethylene (TCE) to be a potential occupational carcinogen and

recommends a REL of 2 ppm (as a 60-minute ceiling) during the use of TCE as an anesthetic 

agent, and 25 ppm (as a 10-hour TWA) during all other exposures. 

Tungsten Carbide (Cemented)

 “Cemented tungsten carbide” or “hard metal” refers to a mixture of tungsten carbide, cobalt, 

and sometimes metal oxides or carbides and other metals (including nickel). When the cobalt 

(Co) content exceeds 2%, its contribution to the potential hazard is judged to exceed that of

tungsten carbide. Therefore, the NIOSH REL (10-hour TWA) for cemented tungsten carbide 

containing >2% Co is 0.05 mg Co/m3; the applicable OSHA PEL is 0.1 mg Co/m3 (8-hour 

TWA). Nickel (Ni) may sometimes be used as a binder rather than cobalt. NIOSH considers 

cemented tungsten carbide containing nickel to be a potential occupational carcinogen and

recommends a REL of 0.015 mg Ni/m3

 (10-hour TWA). The OSHA PEL for Insoluble Nickel 

(i.e., a 1 mg Ni/m3

 8-hour TWA) applies to mixtures of tungsten carbide and nickel.

SUBSTANCES WITH NO ESTABLISHED RELs

After reviewing available published literature, NIOSH provided comments to OSHA

on August 1, 1988, regarding the “Proposed Rule on Air Contaminants” (29 CFR 1910, 

Docket No. H-020). In these comments, NIOSH questioned whether the PELs proposed (and 

listed below) for the following substances included in the Pocket Guide were adequate to protect 

workers from recognized health hazards: 

• Acetylene tetrabromide [TWA 1 ppm]

• Ethyl bromide [TWA 200 ppm, STEL 250 ppm]

• Ethylene glycol [C 50 ppm] 

• Ethyl ether [TWA 400 ppm, STEL 500 ppm]

• Fenthion [TWA 0.2 mg/m3 (skin)] 

• Furfural [TWA 2 ppm (skin)]

• Nitromethane [TWA 100 ppm]

• m-Toluidine [TWA 2 ppm (skin)]

• Triethylamine [TWA 10 ppm, STEL 15 ppm]

At that time, NIOSH also conducted a limited evaluation of the literature and concluded that

the documentation cited by OSHA was inadequate to support the proposed PEL (as an 8-hour

TWA) of 10 mg/m3

 for the following compounds: 

• α-Alumina 

• Benomyl 

• Emery 

• Glycerine (mist) 

• Graphite (synthetic)

OSHA Respirator Requirements for Selected Chemicals

Revisions to the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) became

effective on April 8, 1998. Incorporated within the preamble of this ruling were changes to

OSHA regulations for several chemicals or substances, which are listed as subheadings in blue 

text throughout this appendix. These subheadings, which are also the titles of the affected

standards within 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR 1926, are followed by the standard number(s) in

parentheses and the OSHA respirator requirements. Fit testing is required by OSHA for all tightfitting air-purifying respirators. Please consult 29 CFR 1910.134 for the full content of the 

changes that apply. For all of the chemicals listed in this appendix, any respirators that are

permitted at higher environmental concentrations can be used at lower concentrations.

Definitions for Type C and Type CE Respirators

The definitions below were obtained from the NIOSH Certified Equipment List, which is available on 

the NIOSH Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/cel). 

Type C Respirator: An airline respirator, for entry into and escape from atmospheres not immediately 

dangerous to life or health, which consists of a source of respirable breathing air, a hose, a detachable 

coupling, a control valve, orifice, a demand valve or pressure demand valve, and arrangement for

attaching the hose to the wearer and a facepiece, hood, or helmet. 

Type CE Respirator: A Type C supplied-air respirator equipped with additional devices designed to 

protect the wearer's head and neck against impact and abrasion from rebounding abrasive material, and 

with shielding material such as plastic, glass, woven wire, sheet metal, or other suitable material to 

protect the window(s) of facepieces, hoods, and helmets which do not unduly interfere with the 

wearer's vision and permit easy access to the external surface of such window(s) for cleaning.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

Benzene

The final OSHA Benzene standard in 1910.1028 applies to all occupational exposures to

benzene except some subsegments of industry where exposures are consistently under the action 

level (i.e., distribution and sales of fuels, sealed containers and pipelines, coke production, oil 

and gas drilling and production, natural gas processing, and the percentage exclusion for liquid

mixtures); for the excepted subsegments, the benzene limits in Table Z-2 apply (i.e., an 8-hour

TWA of 10 ppm, an acceptable ceiling of 25 ppm, and 50 ppm for a maximum duration of 10 

minutes as an acceptable maximum peak above the acceptable ceiling).

IDLH values for these four chloronaphthalene compounds are unknown. The

Documentation for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (NTIS Publication 

Number PB-94-195047) identified “Effective” IDLH values, based on analogy with other 

chloronaphthalenes and the then-effective NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic (DHHS [NIOSH] 

Publication No. 87-108; http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/87-108). These values for respirator 

recommendations were determined by multiplying the NIOSH REL or OSHA PEL by an 

assigned protection factor of 10. This assigned protection factor was used during the Standards

Completion Program for deciding when the “most protective” respirators should be used for these

four chemicals. Listed below are the “Effective” IDLH values that were determined using 10

times the REL or PEL for each chemical. For more information please consult the IDLH

Documentation on the NIOSH Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/idlh/idlh-1.html). 

Chemical NIOSH REL/OSHA PEL “Effective” IDLH (10 X REL/PEL)

 Octachloronaphthalene TWA 0.1 mg/m3 * 1 mg/m3

 Pentachloronaphthalene TWA 0.5 mg/m3 5 mg/m3

 Tetrachloronaphthalene TWA 5 mg/m3 50 mg/m3

 Trichloronaphthalene TWA 2 mg/m3 20 mg/m3

* NIOSH also recommends a STEL of 0.3 mg/m3 for octachloronaphthalene; the TWA of 

0.1 mg/m3

 was used to calculate the “Effective” IDLH of 1 mg/m3.
