Fig. 5.8 Exposure Limits<br />
Long Term Exposure<br />
Limit (PPM) (8 hr<br />
TWA)<br />
Short Term Exposure<br />
Limit (PPM) (10 min<br />
period)<br />
Butane 600 750<br />
LPG 1000 1250<br />
Propane<br />
None Established. Considered to be an asphyxiate<br />
at high concentration in air<br />
(source: India LPG)<br />
Inhalation: Low vapor concentrations may cause nausea,<br />
dizziness, headaches, and drowsiness. High vapor concentrations<br />
may produce symptoms of oxygen deficiency<br />
which, coupled with central nervous system depression,<br />
may lead to rapid loss of consciousness.<br />
ABUSE: Under normal conditions of use, the product is<br />
not hazardous. Abuse involving deliberate inhalation of<br />
very high concentrations of vapor, even for short periods,<br />
can produce unconsciousness and/or result in a sudden<br />
fatality.<br />
