in the headspace of shipping and storage containers and in enclosed areas where the
product is handled or used and as such may be regulated by OSHA's Ethylene Oxide
standard (29 CFR 1910.1047). Ethylene Oxide is listed as a human carcinogen by OSHA;
and a potential human carcinogen by NTP and IARC. At excess levels, Ethylene Oxide may
present reproductive, mutagenic, genotoxic, neurologic, and sensitization hazards in humans.
Users should monitor personnel to determine levels of exposure and take appropriate action
to protect employees and to comply with the OSHA standard. OSHA Ethylene Oxide
exposure limit: OSHA Action level: 0.5 ppm for 8-hr twa. OSHA Permissible Exposure limit:
1 ppm for 8-hr twa. OSHA Excursion limit: 5 ppm for 15 minutes. ACGIH Threshold Limit
value for Ethylene Oxide: 1 ppm for 8-hr twa.
