Exposure–response relationships for the ACGIH threshold limit value for hand-activity level: results from a pooled data study of carpal tunnel syndrome [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: This paper aimed to quantify exposure–response relationships between the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists’ (ACGIH) threshold limit value (TLV) for hand-activity level (HAL) and incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)

A non-parametric framework for estimating threshold limit values [PDF]
Background To estimate a threshold limit value for a compound known to have harmful health effects, an 'elbow' threshold model is usually applied. We are interested on non-parametric flexible alternatives.

The role of threshold limit values in U.S. air pollution policy [PDF]
AbstractThis paper analyzes the role of threshold limit values (TLVs) in national air pollution policy during the 1980s, a period in which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sought to delegate to individual states the authority to evaluate and regulate airborne toxic substances.

Improving the ACGIH threshold limit value (TLV) process [PDF]
The intent of this manuscript is to elucidate needed improvements in American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) threshold limit value (TLV) deliberations. More broadly, irreproducibility and bias adversely impact the collection, interpretation, statistical analysis, presentation, and reporting of results in many fields. In 2012,

Threshold limit value for exposure of the hand to vibration [PDF]
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,
