N O T E S
|
Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene is present as a component of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) content in the environment usually resulting from the incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic matters, especially fossil fuels and tobacco.ACGIH recommends environment containing Indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene should be evaluated in terms of the TLV-TWA for coal tar pitch volatile, as benzene soluble 0.2 mg/m³.
Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.
Card has been partially updated in April 2010: see Occupational Exposure Limits, Storage.
