NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards, Carbonyl fluoride: chemical description, physical properties, potentially hazardous incompatibilities, and more

Chemical Description and Physical Properties:

Colorless gas with a pungent and very irritating odor


Exposure Limits

American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 2 ppm, 5.4 mg/m3 TWA; 5 ppm, 13 mg/m3 STEL

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Recommended Exposure Limit (REL): 2 ppm TWA; 5 ppm STEL


Monitoring Methods used by OSHA

Primary Laboratory Sampling/Analytical Method (SLC1):

  • sampling media: Midget Fritted Glass Bubbler containing 10 mL 0.1 N NaOH
    maximum volume: 480 Liters
    maximum flow rate: 2.0 L/min (TWA)
    maximum volume: 30 Liters
    maximum flow rate: 2.0 L/min (STEL)
    analytical 1: Ion Specific Electrode; ISE
    method reference: 2 (OSHA In-House File)
    method classification: Not Validated
    note: Submit as a separate sample; analyte hydrolyzes instantly to fluoride in water. Analysis is for total F-. Proposed method + follows OSHA method ID-110.

Wipe Sampling Method:

    No
