Description: The equation used to calculate the maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) for toluene

The maximum acceptable concentration for toluene is 0.06 milligrams per litre. This value is calculated by multiplying 0.0097 milligrams per kilogram body weight per day by 70 kilograms then by 0.2. This product is then divided by 2.13 litre-equivalent per day and the result is rounded to 0.06 milligrams per litre.
