Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants: Volume 3

Committee on Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants's Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants: Volume 3

U.S. Navy personnel who work on submarines are in an enclosed and isolated Environment for days or weeks at a time when at sea. Unlike a typical work Environment, they are potentially exposed to air contaminants 24 hours a day. To protect workers from potential adverse health effects due to those conditions, the U.S. Navy has established exposure guidance Levels for a number of contaminants. The Navy asked a subcommittee of the National Research Council (NRC) to review, and develop when necessary, exposure guidance Levels for specific contaminants. This volume, the third in a series, recommends 1-hour and 24-hour emergency exposure guidance Levels (EEGLs) and 90-day continuous exposure guidance Levels (CEGLs) for acetaldehyde, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen sulfide, and propylene glycol dinitrate.
