Abstract |
Previous determinations had indicated that the odour threshold of 2-nitropropane (2-NP) (80ppm) could not be used as a warning for air concentrations above the exposure limit. However, recent tests have shown that the odour threshold of 2-NP is at about 5ppm, which is well below the 25ppm ACGIH "ceiling" limit. The odour of 2-NP could therefore provide a warning, at least to workers who are familiar with the odour itself. |
