Allyl Glycidyl Ether																				Related Pages
										May 1994
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLH)
**CAS number:** 106-92-3
**NIOSH REL:** 5 ppm (22 mg/m3) TWA, 10 ppm (44 mg/m3) STEL [skin]
**Current OSHA PEL:** 10 ppm (45 mg/m3) CEILING
**1989 OSHA PEL:** 5 ppm (22 mg/m3) TWA, 10 ppm (44 mg/m3) STEL
**1993-1994 ACGIH TLV:** 5 ppm (23 mg/m3) TWA, 10 ppm (47 mg/m3) STEL
**Description of substance:** Colorless liquid with a pleasant odor.
**LEL:** Unknown
**Original (SCP) IDLH:** 270 ppm
**Basis for original (SCP) IDLH:** The chosen IDLH is based on the mouse 4-hour LC50 of 270 ppm [Hine et al. 1956] cited in ACGIH [1971], AIHA [1965], and Patty [1963].
**Short-term exposure guidelines:** None developed

 **Revised IDLH:** 50 ppm**Basis for revised IDLH:** The revised IDLH for allyl glycidyl ether is 50 ppm based on acute inhalation toxicity data in animals [Hine et al. 1956]. This may be a conservative value due to the lack of relevant acute toxicity data for workers.References:
