Technical Basis
A review of available sources was unable to identify exposure limits or toxicity data for this chemical. The AEGLs for the chemical xylene (CASRN: 1330-20-7) were used as the basis of the TEELs because all three isomers (p-xylene, o-xylene, and m-xylene) are structurally similar.
TEEL-1= AEGL-1 (60-minute; xylene, CASRN: 1330-20-7)
TEEL-2= AEGL-2
TEEL-3= AEGL-3

This review resulted in values that are 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.
