This section contains a table which lists, by ID number, TIH materials, including certain chemical warfare agents, and water-reactive materials which produce toxic gases upon contact with water. The table provides two different types of recommended safe distances which are "Initial isolation distances" and "Protective action distances."
What type of hazard does hazard class 1, division 2 material present
The green pages section of the ERG lists TIH materials, chemical warfare agents, as well as water-reactive materials.
Isolation/ Protective Distance for items that generate toxic inhalation fumes
In the orange bordered pages initial isolation and protective action distances are provided under public safety. For those substances that are toxic inhalation hazard,s they are highlighted in the yellow and blue bordered pages and their evacuation distances are located in the green bordered pages.
Initial isolation and protection zones. These use to be the yellow pages in previous ERG's.

Potential Hazard area of the orange guide pages in the ERG.
Items in the ERG may be identified as a toxic inhalation hazard in the yellow ID code pages if there is a high inhalation risk. The best way to know this is to look up the explanations in the ERG preface.
Index entries highlighted in green are TIH (Toxic Inhalation Hazard) materials.

An erg is a unit of energy equivalent to 10-7 Joules. It is also a dyne centimeter, which is probably the most common expression of an erg. And 6.2415 ×1011 eV (electron volts) is also an erg. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the erg.
