SECTION 2: COMPOSITION
COMPONENT CAS# PERCENTAGE EXPOSURE LIMITS
Carbon 7440-44-0 100 3.5 mg/m3 PEL-TWA
3.5 mg/m3 TLV-TWA
Note: The Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) reported above are the pre-1989 limits
that were reinstated by OSHA June 30, 1993 following a decision by the 11th Circuit
Court of Appeals. These PELs are those now being enforced by Federal OSHA. Be aware
that more restrictive exposure limits may be enforced by some states, agencies or
other authorities. The enforced PEL may not be adequate to ensure worker safety, so
Bacharach, Inc. recommends that the lowest recommended exposure limit always be
observed as reasonable worker protection.
