OSHA Permissable Exposure Limit (PEL):

General Industry: 15.0 mg/m³

Construction Industry: 15 mg/m³ TWA

American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 10 mg/m³ TWA

Primary Laboratory Sampling/Analytical Method (SLC1):

• sampling media: Tared Low Ash Polyvinyl Chloride (LAPVC) filter 5 microns
  maximum volume: 960 Liters
  maximum flow rate: 2.0 L/min
  current analytical method: Gravimetric
  method reference: 11, 12
  sampling and analytical error: 0.10
  method classification: Fully Validated
  note: Field method. If the filter is not overloaded, samples may be collected up to an 8-hour period. Submit as a separate sample only if the gross weight of the sample yields an air concentration greater than the PEL. When the analysis of a compound is requested an analysis is performed for total ammonia and reported as the compound. The analytical method does not distinguish between dust and fume.

Wipe Sampling Method:

• No
