Description of key information
Additional information
ln testing sensory response of exposure to various organic vapors, Silverman and co-workers (1946) found that a majority of individuals experienced eye irritation after 3 to 5 minutes of exposure at 25 ppm mesityl oxide with the addition of nasal irritation at 50 ppm. On the basis of an unpleasant taste that persisted in some cases for 3 to 6 hours after exposure and the nasal irritation experienced at 50 ppm, these workers suggested 25 ppm as the highest concentration which would be satisfactory for an 8-hour day.
