| Abstract |
Since Emergency Response Planning Guideline (ERPG) values are currently available for relatively few chemicals, a methodology was developed for the selection of reasonable interim values for chemicals without ERPG values. A hierarchy of alternative exposure-limit parameters is presented based on a detailed analysis of all the concentration-limit parameters found for 86 extremely hazardous chemicals. Use of this hierarchy, in the order presented and on the basis of availability of parameters for the chemicals of interest, is recommended when ERPG values are not available. A summary of ERPG or ERPG-equivalent values for 30 chemicals derived using this methodology is included. |
