Technical Basis
A review of available sources identified exposure limits (IDLH, STELs, TWAs) and acute toxicity data (LD50, LC50) for several species and routes. Data sources were selected according to the hierarchy listed in Table 3.1. Toxicity data were selected according to type of exposure, species, and route according to the hierarchies stated in Sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2, and evaluated using factors in Tables 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4. Inhalation exposures were scaled to 60-minute equivalents using the ten Berge equation (Section 3.3.4). Analysts selected the most preferred source, the 1990 IDLH, as the TEEL-3. The TEEL-2 value was derived according to Table 3.5. The REL-STEL was selected as the TEEL-1.
• PAC-1 = TEEL-1 = REL-STEL (15 ppm, 60 mg/m3)
• PAC-2 = TEEL-2 = TEEL-3/6
• PAC-3 = TEEL-3 = IDLH (1990, 250 ppm)
This review generated PAC values consistent with Rev. 29A*.

PAC values marked with a subscript "A" correspond to 60-minute AEGL values.
PAC values marked with a subscript "E" correspond to ERPG values.
PAC values marked by * are >= 10% lower explosive limit (LEL) but < 50% LEL.
PAC values marked by ** are > 50% LEL but < 100% LEL.
PAC values marked by *** are >= LEL.
