Biological effects of trinitrotoluene from exposure below the threshold limit value

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1976
Statistically significant rises in serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase determinations occurred at exposures to TNT of 0.8 mg/m3 and persisted at exposures of 0.6 mg/m3. Based on these findings, the adequacy of the current threshold limit value for TNT (1.5 mg/m3) is questioned.

Threshold limit values, permissible exposure limits, and feasibility: The bases for exposure limits in the United States

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1993
AbstractThe development of exposure limits in the United States has always relied heavily upon the threshold limit values (TLVs) developed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). In fact, the TLVs were adopted as official exposure limits by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1972 and 1989 ...

Exposure Limit Values for Nanomaterials—Capacity and Willingness of Users to Apply a Precautionary Approach

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2013
In the European Union, the legal obligation for employers to provide a safe workplace for processing manufactured nanomaterials is a challenge when there is a lack of hazard information. The attitude of key stakeholders in industry, trade unions, branch and employers' organizations, and government policy advisors toward nano reference values (NRVs) has

MoS2-Based Optoelectronic Gas Sensor with Sub-parts-per-billion Limit of NO2 Gas Detection.

ACS Nano, 2019
Red light illumination with photon energy matching the direct band gap of chemical vapor deposition grown single-layer MoS2 with Au metal electrodes was used to induce a photocurrent which was employed instead of dark current for NO2 gas sensing.

Chloroethene. Documentation of proposed values of occupational exposure limits (OELs)

Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy, 2018
Chloroethene (vinyl chloride) does not occur naturally in nature. It is obtained exclusively by chemical synthesis. It is a gas under normal pressure and temperature conditions. At 40-70 °C, it polymerizes to form polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is a large-volume compound. Its annual global production exceeds 40 million t / year.

Nitroethane Documentation of proposed values of occupational exposure limits (OELs)

Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy, 2017
Nitroethane is a colorless oily liquid with a mild fruity odor. It is used mainly as a pro-pellant (e.g., fuel for rockets), and as a solvent or dissolvent agent for cellulose esters, resins (vinyl and alkyd) and waxes, and also in chemical synthesis.Occupational exposure to nitroethane may occur during the process of its production and processing ...

Threshold limit value for exposure of the hand to vibration

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,

Cumene Documentation of proposed values of occupational exposure limits (OELs)

Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy, 2017
Cumene is a clear, colourless liquid with a strong aromatic gasoline-like odour. Cumene is used for the synthesis of phenol and acetone and as a solvent in paints, varnishes and res-ins. It is also used in the printing and rubber industries. According to data from Polish Chief Sanitary Inspectorate, in 2010, no workers were occupa-tionally exposed to ...
