[Hygienic standardization of methyl salicylate in the air of workplace].

A complex toxicological study of methyl salicylate was done. Threshold level at 8 mg/m3, and maximum allowable concentration of methyl salicylate at 1 mg/m3 (2-nd class of chemical hazard, with remark of'harmful in contact with skin') for the air of working zone were estimated. Maximum single and daily average allowable concentrations in ambient air at level 0.01-0.005 mg/m3 were calculated.
