Trinitrophenylmethylnitramine (tetryl; nitramine) cleanup levels by state

CAS 479-45-8
2 states

CAS 479-45-8 is in the cleanup-level tables of 2 states in this handbook: Florida (Trinitrophenylmethylnitramine) and Texas (Trinitrophenylmethylnitramine (tetryl; nitramine)). Each state's numbers are below as its agency prints them. The states run different programs and do not define their values the same way, so a number from one is not the same measure as a number from another. A state that lists the substance under another CAS number, or without one, is not shown here.
