An initial threshold screening level (ITSL) will not be established due to the lack of sufficient toxicity data. Quinacridone is a solid with relatively low oral toxicity and therefore, emissions may be evaluated based on the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 microns (PM2.5)
