SUMMARY Because this report deals with diverse substances, a conventional summary would be inappropriate. Table 1 summarizes previously recommended and currently recommended emergency exposure limits (EELs) for up to 24 h and continuous exposure limits (CELs) for 90 d for chemicals suggested for review by military sponsors of the Committee on Toxicology.
