| Abstract |
This report reviews current US regulations and recommended standards on hydrogen chloride exposure and presents a new method for assessing risk from short-term exposure. A critical review of the literature showed that there is limited information available on the inhalation toxicity of hydrogen chloride in humans. The proposed model was found to estimate values for hydrogen chloride that closely agree with reports of human exposure and established regulatory criteria and it may thus provide a useful risk assessment tool. |
