LCI = "lowest concentration of interest" (Jensen et al. 2001). For substances marked with *1 LCI value is from ECA-IAQ (1999).

NIK = "Niedrigst interessierende Konzentrationen", equivalent to LCI (AgBB 2005).

*2: CAS No is not stated on the safety data sheets. Same designation as for the two CAS No. above.
