Threshold Limit Values of Common (in ppm) Gases and Volatile Liquids


The following table lists threshold limit values(TLV) in parts per million (ppm) of a variety of substances in air at 25 degree C. Threshold limit values are concentrations of gas to which nearly all workers could be exposed for periods of months without adverse effect. Somewhat higher concentrations could be experienced for shorter periods.

Benzene 10
Diborane 0.1
Carbon Monoxide 25
Fluorine 1
n-Hexane 50
Hydrazine 0.1
Hydrogen Floride Anhydrous 3
Hydrogen Selenide 0.05
Methanol 200
Iron Pentacarbonyl 0.1
Mercury 0.02
Toluene 50
