... serve as interim values until further research is conducted to establish the estimates with a greater degree of confidence. INHALATION VAPOR EXPOSURE Lethal Effects `LCt50, CDEPAT's proposed estimate for the LCtSo effects from inhalation exposures to HD vapor, assuming exposure durations of 2 to 10 min and minute volumes of 15 liters, was reduced from the existing value of 1,500 mg-min/m3 to the value of 900 mg-min/m3 (CDEPAT 19941.
