Biodegradability ___ No Q Unknown Bioaccumulation Yes No K) Unknown Section IX - Marketing And Use Regulated By (Specific Regulations)..................... FDA --- USDA -- Other (Specify) Section X - Comments PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE CONCENTRATION: The International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers reports that a lifetime rat inhalation study produced adverse results at a 1000 ppm exposure level. Adverse dose-related weight gain effects were seen also in an inhalation teratology study in rats at 200,1000, and 8000 ppm exposure levels. Effects in the fetus appeared to be due to maternal toxicity. On the basis of this, we believe that the ACGIH TWA TLV may, in the future, be reduced from the present limit of 1000 ppm.
