Exposure–response relationships for the ACGIH threshold limit value for hand-activity level: results from a pooled data study of carpal tunnel syndrome [PDF]

open access: hybridScandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2014
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]

open access: goldBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2005
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]

open access: greenAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1992
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]

open access: hybridToxicology Research and Application, 2018
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]

open access: bronzeThe 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,
