REGULATORY INFORMATION: APVMA APPROVAL NUMBER: POISON SCHEDULE: OTHER INFORMATION: Glossary ACGIH: American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. AIHA WEEL: American Industrial Hygiene Association s Workplace Environmental Exposure Level. BCF: Bioconcentration Factor - a measure for the characterization of the accumulation of a chemical in an organism. It is defined as the concentration of a chemical in an organism (plants, microorganisms, animals) divided by the concentration in a reference compartment (e.g. food, surrounding water). Dow AgroSciences Industrial Hygiene Guideline: An internal company standard based on an 8 hour TWA. EC 50 : median effective concentration. Statistically derived concentration of a substance in an environmental medium expected to produce a certain effect in 50% of test organisms in a given population under a defined set of conditions. Explosive Limits - The range of concentrations (% by volume in air) of a flammable gas or vapour that can result in an explosion for ignition in a confined space. K oc - the organic carbon partition coefficient (ml soil water /g organic carbon). LC 50 - Lethal Concentration 50%. A concentration of chemical in air or water that will kill 50% of the test organisms. LD 50 - Lethal Dose-50%. The dose of a chemical that will kill 50% of the test animals receiving it. NOHSC: National Occupational Health and Safety Commission of Australia now the Office of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council. OASCC: Office of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council. OSHA: American Occupational Safety and Health Administration. PEL: Permissible Exposure Level, a maximum allowable exposure level by law. ph - Measure of how acidic or alkaline a material is using a 1-14 scale. ph 1 is strongly acidic and ph 14 strongly alkaline. Polymerisation - a chemical reaction in which small molecules 9monomers) combine to form much larger molecules (polymers). A hazardous polymerisation reaction is one that occurs at a fast rate and releases large amounts of energy. P ow - The octanol-water partition coefficient is the ratio of the concentration of a chemical in octanol and in water at equilibrium and at a specified temperature. Octanol is an organic solvent that is used as a surrogate for natural organic matter. This parameter is used in many environmental studies to help determine the fate of chemicals in the environment. STEL: Short-Term Exposure Limit. A term used to indicate the maximum average concentration allowed for a continuous 15 minute exposure period. TLV: Threshold Limit Value, an exposure limit set by a competent authority TWA - Time Weighted Average. The average concentration of a chemical in air over the total exposure time - usually an 8 hour work day. References AS/NZS Selection Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices.
