From IERG (Canada/Australia) Isolation Distance 25 metres Downwind Protection Distance 300 metres IERG Number 14
FOOTNOTES 1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on either side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equal to the downwind protective action distance. 2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill and working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level of vapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated and unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects. 3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to life-threatening concentrations of the material. 4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from a small cylinder are also considered "small spills". LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such as a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder. 5 Guide 127 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book. 6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.
The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to one hour WITHOUT experiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects is:
n-butyl acetate 3000 ppm
irreversible or other serious effects or symptoms which could
impair an individual's ability to take protective action is:
n-butyl acetate 200 ppm
other than mild, transient adverse effects
without perceiving a clearly defined odour is:
n-butyl acetate 5 ppm

Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into
consideration reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for
other toxic effects. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been
suggested as an additional standard. These have been established after a
literature search for the reproductive no-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL)
and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's
procedures for risk assessment for hazard identification and dose-response
assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation of such limits.

PEL TWA: 400 ppm, 1400 mg/m³ (SKIN) [OSHA Z1]
ES TWA: 200 ppm; STEL 400 ppm
TLV TWA: 400 ppm, 1440 mg/m³
OES TWA: 400 ppm, 1460 mg/m³
MAK value: 400 ppm, 1500 mg/m³
MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice
the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift.
MAK Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo
when MAK and BAT values are observed.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
IDLH Level: 2000 ppm (lower explosive limit)
Odour Threshold Value: 6.4-50 ppm (detection), 13.3-75 ppm (recognition)
The TLV-TWA provides a significant margin of safety from the standpoint of
adverse health effects. Unacclimated subjects found the odour
objectionably strong at 200 ppm. Mild nose, eye and throat irritation was
experienced at 400 ppm. Workers exposed regularly at concentrations
ranging from 375 ppm to 1500 ppm for several months showed no unusual
signs or symptoms.
METHYL ETHYL KETONE:
TLV TWA: 200 ppm BEI [ACGIH]
TLV STEL: 300 ppm BEI [ACGIH]
PEL TWA: 200 ppm, 590 mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
TLV TWA: 200 ppm, 590 mg/m³; STEL: 300 ppm, 885 mg/m³
ES TWA: 150 ppm, 445 mg/m³; STEL: 300 ppm, 890 mg/m³
OES TWA: 200 ppm, 600 mg/m³; STEL: 300 ppm, 899 mg/m³ skin
MAK value: 200 ppm, 600 mg/m³
Designated H in List of MAK values: Danger of cutaneous absorption.
Absorption of such substances through the skin can pose an incomparably larger
danger of toxicity than their inhalation. To avoid health risks when handling
such substances, meticulous cleaning of the skin, hair and clothing is
imperative.
MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice
the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift.
MAK Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo
when MAK and BAT values are observed.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
IDLH Level: 3000 ppm
Odour Threshold Value: Variously reported as 2 ppm and 4.8 ppm
Odour threshold: 2 ppm (detection); 5 ppm (recognition)
25 ppm (easy recognition); 300 ppm IRRITATING
Exposures at or below the recommended TLV-TWA are thought to prevent
injurious systemic effects and to minimise objections to odour and
irritation. Where synergism or potentiation may occur stringent control of
the primary toxin (e.g. n-hexane or methyl butyl ketone) is desirable and
additional consideration should be given to lowering MEK exposures.
N-BUTYL ACETATE:
TLV TWA: 150 ppm [ACGIH]
TLV STEL: 200 ppm [ACGIH]
PEL TWA: 150 ppm, 710 mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
TLV TWA: 150 ppm, 713 mg/m³; STEL: 200 ppm, 950 mg/m³
ES TWA: 150 ppm, 713 mg/m³; STEL: 200 ppm, 950 mg/m³
OES TWA: 150 ppm, 724 mg/m³; STEL: 200 ppm, 966 mg/m³
MAK value: 100 ppm, 480 mg/m³
MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice
the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift.
MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the
Federal Republic of Germany
Odour Threshold Value: 0.0063 ppm (detection), 0.038-12 ppm (recognition)
IDLH Level: 1700 ppm (lower explosive limit)
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to prevent
significant irritation of the eyes and respiratory passages as well as
narcotic effects. In light of the lack of substantive evidence regarding
teratogenicity and a review of acute oral data a STEL is considered
inappropriate.
XYLENE:
TLV TWA: 100 ppm A4;BEI [ACGIH]
TLV STEL: 150 ppm A4;BEI [ACGIH]
PEL TWA: 100 ppm, 435 mg/m³ [OSHA Z1]
TLV TWA: 100 ppm, 434 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 651 mg/m³ A4
NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as
causing Cancer in humans
ES TWA: 80 ppm, 350 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 655 mg/m³ (Under review)
OES TWA: 100 ppm, 441 mg/m³; STEL: 150 ppm, 662 mg/m³ skin
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
IDLH Level: 900 ppm
Odour Threshold Value: 20 ppm (detection), 40 ppm (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes for o-xylene, measuring in excess of 10 ppm, are
available commercially. (m-xylene and p-xylene give almost the same
response)
Xylene vapour is an irritant to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin and
causes narcosis at high concentrations. Exposure to doses sufficiently high
to produce intoxication and unconsciousness also produces transient liver
and kidney toxicity. Neurologic impairment is NOT evident amongst
volunteers inhaling up to 400 ppm though complaints of ocular and upper
respiratory tract irritation occur at 200 ppm for 3 to 5 minutes.
Exposure to xylene at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thought
to minimise the risk of irritant effects and to produce neither significant
narcosis or chronic injury. An earlier skin notation was deleted because
percutaneous absorption is gradual and protracted and does not
substantially contribute to the dose received by inhalation.

The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
The liquid produces a high level of eye discomfort and is capable of causing
pain and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible
permanent impairment of vision, if not promptly and adequately treated.
Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal
handling and use.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be
accompanied by narcosis, drowsiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack
of coordination and vertigo.
Exposure to ketone vapours may produce nose, throat and mucous membrane
irritation. High concentrations of vapour may produce central nervous system
depression characterised by headache, vertigo, loss of coordination, narcosis
and cardiorespiratory failure. Some ketones produce neurological disorders
(polyneuropathy) characterised by bilateral symmetrical paresthesia and muscle
weakness primarily in the legs and arms.
Acute effects from inhalation of high concentrations of vapour are pulmonary
irritation, including coughing, with nausea; central nervous system depression -
characterised by headache and dizziness, increased reaction time, fatigue and
loss of co-ordination
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following. Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may
result in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]. As with any
chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust
in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good
occupational work practice.
