Excerpts from Documentation for IDLHs: Concentrations between 300 and 400 ppm have been reported to be very
disagreeable [Rowe et al. 1954]. Central nervous system impairment (undefined) occurred at 1,000 ppm in one of two
subjects [Stewart et al. 1970]. . . .Concentrations above 5,000 ppm are unlikely to be encountered in the workplace because
of the high boiling point and low vapor pressure of this substance.
