Exploring the statistical uncertainty in acceptable exposure limit values for hexavalent chromium exposure [PDF]
Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2017 Exposure limit values give the exposure level at which an accepted (or acceptable) number of additional work related diseases are expected. The values are derived from dose-response curves and carry a large amount of uncertainty. In this paper we aim to quantify some of this uncertainty with statistical means.

Threshold limit value for exposure of the hand to vibration [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1983 Habitual exposure of the hand to vibration frequently leads to tingling and numbness followed by episodes of finger blanching, with reduction in manual dexterity and tactile sensitivity, and damage to soft tissue and joints in severe cases. The dose-effect relations reported elsewhere for the development of vibration-induced white finger [A. J. Brammer,

Using the current Brazilian value for the biological exposure limit applied to blood lead level as a lead poisoning diagnostic criterion [PDF]
Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 1996 In general, biological exposure limits are only used for the promotion and preservation of workers' health and are not applied for diagnostic purposes. However, the issue is controversial for certain types of occupational poisoning.

Proposed biological threshold limit values for industrial exposure to trichloroethylene vapor.
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 1977 A model was used for the simulation of the pharmacokinetics of inhaled trichloroethylene (TRI) vapor. Computed data of TRI in alveolar air and of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and trichloroethanol (TCE) in blood and urine agreed satisfactorily with experimental results obtained by various authors.

EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA – A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
International Symposium on Occupational Safety and Hygiene: Proceedings Book of the SHO2025Background: Silicosis is a worldwide occupational fibrotic respiratory disease caused by inhaling respirable crystalline silica. There is a lack of knowledge about the limiting value of silica exposure in work labor or environment and compliance with this limit defined by national legislation.

French occupational exposure limit and toxicological reference values: Objectives and methods
, 2013 Les valeurs limites d'exposition professionnelle et les valeurs toxicologiques de référence sont des indicateurs très utilisés dans les évaluations du risque sanitaire et professionnel, respectivement. Si ces deux valeurs ne sont pas substituables l'une à l'autre, elles sont, dans certains cas, susceptibles de s'enrichir l'une l'autre. Nous proposons d'

A Comparison of REACH-Derived No-Effect Levels for Workers With EU Indicative Occupational Exposure Limit Values and National Limit Values in Finland [PDF]
The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2015 The purpose of occupational exposure limits values (OELs) is to regulate exposure to chemicals and minimize the risk of health effects at work. National authorities are responsible for the setting and updating of national OELs. In addition, the EU sets indicative occupational exposure limit values (IOELVs), which have to be considered by the Member ...
