Many gases have toxic properties, which are often assessed using the LC 50 (median lethal concentration) measure. In the United States, many of these gases have been assigned an NFPA 704 health rating of 4 (may be fatal) or 3 (may cause serious or permanent injury), and/or exposure limits (TLV, TWA/PEL, STEL, or REL) determined by the ACGIH professional association.
Threshold limit value − ceiling limit (TLV-C): An absolute exposure limit that should not be exceeded at any time. There are TLVs for physical agents as well as chemical substances. TLVs for physical agents include those for noise exposure, vibration, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation exposure and heat and cold stress.
Threshold Limit Values (TLVs), often determined by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGHI), is a key component in determining the PEL. [11] [10] Other things that contribute to determining the PEL are toxicity and particle size. [10] PELs for chemicals are measured in mg/M 3 (milligrams per cubic meter). [2]
For dust and particulates, instruments include aerosol photometers and condensation particle counters. [3] Handheld electronic monitors give instantaneous readouts, but can experience interference from similar compounds, and the user must be knowledgeable enough to calibrate the device, and interpret its results with the specific device's ...
