It contains up-to-date knowledge on exposure, measurement, toxicokinetics and toxic effects in animals and humans. It also includes items such as deficiencies in the knowledge base and groups at extra risk. The data in the document informed the Advisory Committee on Toxic Substances (ACTS) and its Working Group on the Assessment of Toxic Chemicals (WATCH)when making a recommendation for an occupational exposure limit. This recommendation is given in the final section of the document along with the rationale behind the limit type chosen and its numberical value. Contents: Introduction; Summary; Identification; Physio-chemical properties; Production and use; Occupational exposure; Measurement; Toxicokinetics; Toxicity in animals; Health effects in humans; Deficiencies in the knowledge base; Groups at extra risk; Basis and recommendation for a limit; References; Abbreviations. |
