However, it is assumed to be in Class 2 according to Zeon's own calculation. 1) Formula PDE = (NOEL x Weight Adjustment)/(F1+F2+F3+F4+F5) Concentration Limit (PPM) = 1000 x PDE / dose *PDE: Permitted Daily Exposure 2) Calculation PDE = (15x50) / (5 x 10 x 10 x 1 x 1)=1.5mg/day Concentration Limit = 1000 x 1.5/10 = 150ppm 3) Conclusion According to the above, Zeon assume CPME would be classified in Class 2.
