10. Emergency response - AEGLs
AEGL-1 is the airborne concentration, expressed as parts per million ormilligrams per cubic meter (ppm or mg/m3) of a substance above which it ispredicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals,could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomaticnon-sensory effects. However, the effects are not disabling and aretransient and reversible upon cessation of exposure.
AEGL-2 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m3) of asubstance above which it is predicted that the general population, includingsusceptible individuals, could experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects or an impaired ability to escape.
AEGL-3 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m3) of asubstance above which it is predicted that the general population, includingsusceptible individuals, could experience life-threatening health effects ordeath.
