... ECt50 for Severe Effects CDEPAT's proposed ECtso estimates for severe effects from exposure to HD are 500 mg-min/m3 for moderate temperatures and <200 mg-min/m3 for hot temperatures, assuming exposure durations of 30 to 50 min. The existing estimates for moderate and hot temperatures are 2,000 and 1,000 mg-min/m3, respectively (CDEPAT 1994~.
