Abstract
If the odor threshold of a compound is greater than its TLV, overexposure of a respirator user is possible since breakthrough may not be detected. Odor threshold data are assembled for a number of different materials and compared to their TLV's. Use practices are recommended for chemical cartidge respirators for various grouping of compounds, based on their odor threshold to TLV ratio.Mesh:
