A fluid (flowing material) but without the tendency to separate. A fluid that tends to expand indefinitely. A collection of charged particles which has some of the properties of a gas, but is a good conductor of electricity and is effected by a magnetic field. \ ABD00088462 CHEMICAL AGENTS GAS VAPOR DUST FUME SMOKE MIST FIBER - A fluid that tends to expand indefinitely. Examples: Oxygen Nitrogen Hydrogen Vinyl Chl-oride Monomer - A gas that originated from a material that is normally a liquid. Examples: Water vapor Gasoline vapor Plasticizer vapor -- Finely divided solids, normally capable of being suspended in air. Examples: Talcum powder Lead carbonate PVC resin "fines" - Small particles of a metallic oxide which originate from heating metals to the boiling point in the presence of oxygen. Examples: Welding fumes Lead fumes - Particles resulting from incomplete combustion. Examples: Tobacco smoke Gasoline smoke Smoke from "burning out" PVC- contaminated pipes - A suspension of small droplets of liquid in air. Examples: Hair sprays Fog (as on a "foggy day") % - Any relatively small solid that is at least three times as long as it is wide. Examples: Fiber Glass insulation Asbestos insulation Cotton fiber Wool ABD00088463 4 ABD00088464 DOSE/RESPONSE DOSE "THRESHOLD" - There appears to be one for each chemical.
