ASTM E 981 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Estimating Sensory Irritancy of Airborne Chemicals
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 1, 2004
Scope:
This laboratory test method provides a rapid means of determining
sensory irritant potential of
airborne chemicals or mixtures. It may also be used to estimate
threshold limit values (TLV) for
man. However, it cannot be used to evaluate the relative obnoxiousness
of odors.
This test method is intended as a supplement to, not a replacement
for, chronic inhalation studies
used to establish allowable human tolerance levels.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. Specific
hazard information is given in Section 6.
