Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Probable Routes of Human Exposure:

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 1,121,046 workers (222,613 of these were female) were potentially exposed to carbon dioxide in the US(1). The NOES Survey does not include farm workers. Occupational exposure to carbon dioxide may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where carbon dioxide is produced or used. Carbon dioxide is ubiquitous in the environment(2) and, therefore, the general population may be exposed to carbon dioxide via inhalation of ambient air, ingestion of food and drinking water, and dermal contact with carbon dioxide(SRC)

Monotoring data

Monitoring for IPETC/O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate  is not carried out at either the sites of manufacture or end-use.

 Monitoring is carried out forcarbon dioxide which is expected to be released during manufacture, storage anduse of IPETC/O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate.

 

Air monitoring data, although limited and of poor quality, indicate that the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide; oxides are below 10 ppm in the flotation areas. The risk to workers during the flotation process is considered to be low.

Carbon dioxide CAS number: 124–38–9

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: 


TLV: 5000 ppm as TWA; 30000 ppm as STEL; (ACGIH 2006). 
MAK: 5000 ppm, 9100 mg/m3; 
Peak limitation category: II(2); 
(DFG 2006). 
OSHA PEL†: TWA 5000 ppm (9000 mg/m3) 
NIOSH REL: TWA 5000 ppm (9000 mg/m3) ST 30,000 ppm (54,000 mg/m3) 
NIOSH IDLH:40,000 ppm
