Occupational exposure limit for silver nanoparticles: considerations on the derivation of a general health-based value

Nanotoxicology, 2016
With the increased production and widespread commercial use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), human and environmental exposures to silver nanoparticles are inevitably increasing.

Genotoxicity in vinyl chloride-exposed workers and its implication for occupational exposure limit.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2011
BACKGROUND Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is a colorless gas under room temperature and has been mostly used to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC) since the 1970s.

A recommended occupational exposure limit for formaldehyde based on irritation.

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 1997
In recent years, several regulatory agencies and professional societies have recommended an occupational exposure limit (OEL) for formaldehyde. This article presents the findings of a panel of experts, the Industrial Health Foundation panel, who were ...

A review of health effects of carbon disulfide in viscose industry and a proposal for an occupational exposure limit

, 2009
Occupational exposure limits (OELs) for carbon disulfide vary between 1 and 10 ppm worldwide. They are generally based on health effects observed in viscose industry.

Identifying an apppropriate occupational exposure limit (OEL) for beryllium: data gaps and current research initiatives.

Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2001
The occupational exposure limit of 2.0 microg/m3 for beryllium has been used in the workplace since the late 1940s. In particular, the adequacy of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for ...

A proposed occupational exposure limit for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1988
One contaminant produced unintentionally during the manufacture of chlorophenols and phenoxy herbicides is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The resulting TCDD-containing wastes have been detected at many hazardous waste sites which in recent ...

Fungal spores: A critical review of the toxicological and epidemiological evidence as a basis for occupational exposure limit setting

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2009
Fungal spores are ubiquitous in the environment. However, exposure levels in workplaces where mouldy materials are handled are much higher than in common indoor and outdoor environments.

Development of an eight-hour occupational exposure limit for beryllium.

Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2000
This article recommends an 8-hour occupational exposure limit (OEL) for beryllium. It responds to growing concerns about the continuing incidence of chronic beryllium disease despite the long-standing OEL for beryllium: 2 micrograms of beryllium per ...

Establishing an occupational exposure limit for hexavalent chromium in the European Union.

Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology : RTP, 1997
A Criteria Document for hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], currently under preparation at the Institute of Occupational Health, University of Birmingham, is intended for use in setting an occupational exposure limit (OEL) for Cr(VI) in the European Union (EU).
