Let me ask some perhaps foolish questions:
Can levels of the chemical be reliably detected at levels of 0.075 or
less? (1/4th of the company's proposal).
Does the chemical have an odor threshold (or odor) below the proposed
TWA?
Would exposure be ingestion, inhalation, dermal?
That is, I suppose, is the chemical a gas, a liquid, a solid?
Some exposures can be more easily limited than others.
