Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
RS-Freetext:
Odor threshold in air: 600 ppm;
Standard error: 2.9
TLV: 100 ppm
Odor safety factor: 0.17
Odor safety class: E
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- CL-Freetext:
The odor threshold is higher than the TLV. Therefore,
hazardous concentrations of methylformate are not perceived
by smell.
