Notes: For OSHA's construction regulations, see 29 CFR 1926.55 Table 1, [A²], Polytetrafluoroethylene decomposition products. Because these products decompose in part by hydrolysis in alkaline solution, they can be quantitatively determined in air as fluoride to provide an index of exposure. No TLV is recommended pending determination of the toxicity of the products, but air concentrations should be minimal.		Notes: Not established		Notes: Not established		Notes: Not established
