A non-parametric framework for estimating threshold limit values [PDF]
BMC 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]
American 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.

142 ACGIH Threshold Limit Values® (TLV®s) established from 2008-2018 lack consistency and transparency [PDF]
Toxicology Research and Application, 2019 The American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH®) states “…the TLV®-CS Committee preferably relies on published, peer-reviewed literature available in the public domain.” Many studies used to document threshold limit values (TLVs)

Improving the ACGIH threshold limit value (TLV) process [PDF]
Toxicology 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,

Proposed biological threshold limit values for industrial exposure to trichloroethylene vapor.
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health, 1977 A model was used for the simulation of the pharmacokinetics of inhaled trichloroethylene (TRI) vapor. Computed data of TRI in alveolar air and of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and trichloroethanol (TCE) in blood and urine agreed satisfactorily with ...

LEAD EXPOSURE AND THE DERIVATION OF MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CONCENTRATIONS AND THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES
, 1965 The terms maximum allowable concentration (M.A.C.) and threshold limit value (T.L.V.) differ in their respective meanings. The M.A.C. is a ceiling concentration whereas the T.L.V.
