BioSafe Systems, a member of the Peroxy Compounds Task Force (PCTF) - Peracetic Acid Group which consists of PAA manufacturers, along with the National Chicken Council and the Aseptic and Antimicrobial Processing and Packaging Association (AAPPA) is working in collaboration with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) on setting a new proposed Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) value for airborne peroxyacetic acid in various commercial operations.
BioSafe Systems and most other members of the PCTF - Peracetic Acid Group believe the peracetic acid (IDLH) value proposed by NIOSH is overly conservative and not based upon sound science. The PCTF is working with NIOSH to increase the proposed (IDLH) value by providing relevant data and information.
