Abstract
A TLV-TWA of 100 ppm (303 mg/m3) is recommended for occupational exposure to tert-butanol. This value is intended to minimize the potential risk of narcosis. Oncogenicity data are equivocal from lifetime exposures of rats and mice to tert-butanol administered in drinking water. Sufficient data were not available to recommend Skin or SEN notations or a TLV-STEL.
