    Odor threshold>

    • Odor Threshold Low: 0.3 [mmHg]. Odor Threshold High: 24.0 [mmHg]. Detection odor threshold from AIHA (mean = 2.7 ppm)
    • ...Odor threshold of about 25 ppm and a strong odor at about 50 ppm.
    • Human volunteers with some work experience in industrial environments reported that /odor/ levels of 125 ppm were noticeable and that the intolerable odor level was higher then 255 ppm. Thus the warning properties should not be relied up on to prevent prolonged daily exposures to a concentration of vapors that could cause adverse affects.
