Thus, the subcommittee recommends that the proposed ECt50 estimate for severe effects of 10 mg-min/m3 serve as an interim value until further research on VX is conducted to establish the estimate with a greater degree of confidence. ECt50 for Mild Effects CDEPAT's proposed ECt50 estimate for ocular effects or rhinorrhea in humans is 0.09 mg-min/m3, assuming exposure durations of 2 to 10 min and moderate temperatures.
