Q

Specifies the maximum amount or concentration of a chemical to which a worker may be exposed. It can be established in one of two ways: 1) Ceiling values: At no time should this exposure limit be exceeded and 2) 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA): An average value of exposure over the course of an 8-hour work shift.

Q

Denotes the level of exposure that nearly all workers can experience without an unreasonable risk of disease or injury. Defined as ceiling limits, short-term exposure limits (STEL), and TWAs. It should be noted that these are only advisory limits and not enforceable by law. These may be the same as PELs

Q

An unexpected event in which the rate of reaction increases significantly, resulting in a significant increase in temperature. The increase in temperature causes the rate of reaction to increase, further increasing the rate and tending to create an uncontrolled, often heat-producing, reaction

22
Q

The adverse effects of a substance resulting from a single exposure ormultiple exposures over a very short time span (less than 24 hours). Acute toxicity isusually determined by exposing animals to a given chemical to determine the lethal dose,50% (LD50). This is an experimental measure determined by administering varied doses of achemical by some route to animals, observing the percentage lethality at these doses, andextrapolating to estimate the dose that would kill 50% of the animals.
