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.

Diesel Engine Exhaust: Basis for Occupational Exposure Limit Value [PDF]
Toxicological Sciences, 2017 Diesel engines are widely used in transport and power supply, making occupational exposure to diesel exhaust common. Both human and animal studies associate exposure to diesel exhaust with inflammatory lung effects, cardiovascular effects, and an increased risk of lung cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has evaluated diesel exhaust

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 ...

Formate in serum and urine after controlled methanol exposure at the threshold limit value. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1994 Methanol will be present as a new air pollutant when methanol-powered vehicles are introduced in the United States. Little is known about the effect of low-dose methanol exposure. It is controversial whether or not formate, the main metabolite responsible for methanol's acute toxicity, is a sensitive biological marker of toxicity or exposure.

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.

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2015 Occupational exposure limits (OELs) serve as health-based benchmarks against which measured or estimated workplace exposures can be compared. In the years since the introduction of OELs to public health practice, both developed and developing countries ...

Cadmium Monitoring at the Workplace: Effectiveness of a Combination of Air- and Biomonitoring
Toxics, 2023 Inhalation exposure to cadmium at the workplace has been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer and non-cancer respiratory effects. To ensure levels of cadmium remain below effect levels, air quality is monitored and regulations specifying an ...
