- Abstract
- A report is presented which reviews experimental data and histories of exposure to hydrogen fluoride of humans and experimental animals. Specifically reviewed are: clinical and pathological effects of HF; toxicity studies; and instances of apparent HF injury. A discussion is presented of susceptibility of species to HF poisoning. Short-term Public Limits (STPL's) and Public Emergency Limits (PEL's) are also presented.
