Occupational exposure limits: A comparative study

Particle Emissions From Rail Traffic: A Literature Review

“…ACGIH is one of the pioneering organizations. Recently, Schenk et al (2008) compared exposure limit values set by ACGIH with those of 17 well-known organizations in Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia. They reported that the broadest substance coverage was offered by ACGIH, and that the OELs set by ACGIH were usually the lowest or next to lowest.…”

Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Emissions during Disturbance and Removal of Stored Spent Mushroom Compost

“…This confirmed that there was an H 2 S health and safety risk for those working in the vicinity of stored SMC, particularly while it was being disturbed, and that indoor storage might be safer than outdoor storage. Occupational exposure limits (OELs) are an important regulatory instrument used to protect employees from the adverse effects of chemical exposure in the workplace (Topping, 2001;Schenk et al, 2008). In Europe, the time-weighted average (TWA) and short-term exposure limit (STEL) are used to identify safe working conditions for employees.…”

Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Emissions in the Human- Occupied Zone during Disturbance and Removal of Stored Spent Mushroom Compost

“…Occupational exposure limits (OELs) are used as an important regulatory instrument to assist in the protection of employees' health from adverse effects of chemical exposures in their workplace (Topping, 2001;Schenk et al, 2008). In many European countries, including Ireland and the U.K., the time-weighted average (TWA) exposure limit for H 2 S is currently 5 ppm for a conventional 8 h day, and the short-term exposure limit (STEL) is 10 ppm for a 15 min period, no more than four times per day.…”
