- Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Airborne Chemicals
Acute exposure guideline levels (AEGLs) describe the risk to humans from a once-in-a-life-time, or rare, exposure to airborne chemicals
- Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Selected Airborne Chemicals
This report is the fourth volume in the series Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Selected Airborne Chemicals It reviews the AEGLs for chlorine, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, toluene 2,4- and 2,6-diisocyanate, and uranium hexa-fluoride for scientific accuracy, completeness, and consistency with the NRC guideline reports

- About Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs) | US EPA
AEGLS are expressed as specific concentrations of airborne chemicals at which health effects may occur They are designed to protect the elderly and children, and other individuals who may be susceptible

- What are volatile organic compounds (VOCs)? | US EPA
VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands
- What are Hazardous Air Pollutants? | US EPA
What are hazardous air pollutants?Hazardous air pollutants, also known as toxic air pollutants or air toxics, are those pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental effects EPA is working with state, local, and tribal governments to reduce air emissions of 188 toxic air
