      abstract = {"Diacetyl and its substitute, 2,3-pentanedione, are widely  used as flavoring compounds. The National Institute for  Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) objective in  establishing recommended exposure limits (RELs) for  diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione is to reduce the risk of  respiratory impairment (decreased lung function) and the  severe irreversible lung disease obliterative bronchiolitis  associated with occupational exposure.  In this Criteria  Document, NIOSH reviews the scientific literature  concerning potential health effects, toxicology, and risk  assessment pertaining to diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione.  Recommendations are provided on engineering controls, work  practices, and personal protective equipment to prevent and  control workplace exposures to diacetyl and  2,3-pentanedione"--NIOSH website.},
