The 3 types of solvents studied are commercial mixtures of aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Suggested ''hygienic'' standards for inhalation of ''60 Solvent'' (0.44 mg/l or 90 ppm), ''70 Solvent'' (0.32 mg/l or 59 ppm) and ''140/sup 0/ (Fahrenheit) Flash Aliphatic Solvent'' (0.23 mg/l or 37 ppm) are given. Detailed results of human and animal experiments support the recommended values.
