From page 82...
... . Quantitative dose-response data on the cardiovascular effects following inhalation exposure are difficult to obtain because these effects depend on both the duration of exposure and the amount of epinephrine present in blood (Chenoweth, 1946~.

From page 83...
... These data are not useful for determining PELs following inhalation exposure because the route of exposure (oral) is not relevant and the chemical composition of the total fuel differs from that of the vapors.
