Ferbam

Ferbam is a fungicide.

People can be exposed to ferbam in the workplace by breathing it in, skin absorption, swallowing it, and eye contact. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the legal limit (permissible exposure limit) for ferbam exposure in the workplace as 15 mg/m over an 8-hour workday. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has set a recommended exposure limit (REL) of 1 mg/m over an 8-hour workday. At levels of 100 mg/m, ferbam is immediately dangerous to life and health.
