EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING GUIDELINES (ERPG)
The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to one hour WITHOUT experiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects is:
iron oxide fume 500 mg/m鲁
irreversible or other serious effects or symptoms which could
impair an individual's ability to take protective action is:
iron oxide fume 25 mg/m鲁
other than mild, transient adverse effects
without perceiving a clearly defined odour is:
iron oxide fume 15 mg/m鲁
The threshold concentration below which most people.
will experience no appreciable risk of health effects:
iron oxide fume 10 mg/m鲁
American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)
