* Indicates substances with a tentative limit value. Tentative limit values are temporary limit values and are only advisory limit values.
** The limit value of the Danish Working Environment Authority of 180 mg/m³ applies to petroleum redistilled C9-C14 with < 5% aromatic compounds. The limit value is therefore not fully adequate for the found fractions of aliphatic hydrocarbons, but a precautionary approach has been chosen, i.e. the lowest limit value has been chosen.
