CAS number: 594729
NIOSH REL: 2 ppm (10 mg/m3) TWA
Current OSHA PEL: 10 ppm (60 mg/m3) CEILING
1989 OSHA PEL: 2 ppm (10 mg/m3) TWA
1993-1994 ACGIH TLV: 2 ppm (12 mg/m3) TWA
Description of Substance: Colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor.
LEL:. . Unknown
Original (SCP) IDLH: 150 ppm
Basis for original (SCP) IDLH: The chosen IDLH is based on the study by Machle et al. [1945] in which autopsies on animals exposed to over 170 ppm for over 30 minutes revealed pulmonary edema and hemorrhage, with damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Short-term exposure guidelines: None developed

Other animal data: Animals have tolerated 25 ppm for 204 hours [ Machle et al. 1945].
Human data: None relevant for use in determining the revised IDLH.
| Revised IDLH: 25 ppm
Basis for revised IDLH: The revised IDLH for 1,1dichloro1nitroethane is 25 ppm based on acute inhalation toxicity data in animals [Machle et al. 1945]. This may be a conservative value due to the lack of relevant acute toxicity data for workers. |
