Strategies for setting occupational exposure limits for particles. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1997 To set occupational exposure limits (OELs) for aerosol particles, dusts, or chemicals, one has to evaluate whether mechanistic considerations permit identification of a no observed effect level (NOEL). In the case of carcinogenic effects, this can be assumed if no genotoxicity is involved, and exposure is considered safe if it does not exceed the NOEL.

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2020 In an editorial in an earlier issue of this journal, Johanson & Tinnerberg (1) expressed serious and well-founded concern over the large number of future occupational cancer cases that will result if exposures for a number of substances are not reduced ...

Hydrogen sulfide: UK occupational exposure limits [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2003 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic gas with an offensive odour reminiscent of rotten eggs. There is the potential for widespread occupational exposure to H2S, including in the oil and water treatment industries. There is a particular concern for exposure in confined spaces such as manholes and sewer pipes; the high concentrations that can build up in ...

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR CHEMICALS [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2001 ▸ Occupational exposure limits (OELs) are tools to help employers protect the health of those who may be exposed to chemicals in their workplace. Under the United Kingdom Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations they define adequate control by inhalation.▸ OELs are set by the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) on advice from its ...

An occupational exposure limit for welding fumes is urgently needed
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2022 Approximately 11 million people work as welders worldwide and an additional 110 million are exposed to welding fumes at work (1). Several countries have an occupational exposure limit (OEL) for welding fumes of 5 mg/m^3 (1, 2) and similar OEL for ...

Sensory irritation as a basis for setting occupational exposure limits [PDF]
Archives of Toxicology, 2014 There is a need of guidance on how local irritancy data should be incorporated into risk assessment procedures, particularly with respect to the derivation of occupational exposure limits (OELs). Therefore, a board of experts from German committees in charge of the derivation of OELs discussed the major challenges of this particular end point for ...

Screening of occupational environment: a critique of exposure limits.
American Journal of Public Health and the Nations Health, 1969 IT was once said that physicians should be concerned with sick people. not "sick air." That cannot be the philosophy of industrial physicians. Any occupational health program that is dedicated to a philosophy other than employee health maintenance is doomed to failure.
