Results and discussion

Results:
The threshold limit value (TLV) for BTDA is 1 mg/m3 as proposed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) in its notice of intended changes of threshold limit values (TLV) in 1975. There is no verification that this TLV was adopted. This is cited in the above-referenced NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation/Toxicity Determination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It is reported that the ACGIH in 1975 proposed a threshold limit value (TLV) for BTDA of 1 mg/m3. There is no evidence that this value was ever finalized or adopted.
