Summary of Animal Data Relevant to AEGL-3.This report reviews documents on acute exposure guideline levels (AEGLs) for nerve agents GA (tabun), GB (sarin), GD (soman), GD, and VX, sulfur mustard, diborane, and methyl isocyanate. The documents were developed by the National Advisory Committee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Chemicals (NAC). The subcommittee concludes that the AEGLs developed in those documents are scientifically valid conclusions based on data reviewed by NAC and are consistent with the NRC reports on developing acute exposure guideline levels.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)Gases, Asphyxiating and poisonousHazardous substancesEnvironmental aspectsHazardous substancesHealth aspectsChemicalsPhysiological effectChemicalsHealth aspectsGases, Asphyxiating and poisonous.Hazardous substancesEnvironmental aspects.Hazardous substancesHealth aspects.ChemicalsPhysiological effect.ChemicalsHealth aspects.615.9/1National Research Council (U.S.).Subcommittee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960895603321Acute exposure guideline levels for selected airborne chemicals2610632UNINA
