Personal Exposure Limits (PEL)
legal exposure standard establised by OSHA for a group of camicals, somewhat outdated, only limits set by law

NOISH exposure limits
Receomended exposure lmits set by National Institute for Occupational Safety and ealth. establishes the highest alowable airborne concentration for exposure without health injury

NOISH exposure limits
IDLH
chemicals NOISH classifies as extremely dangerous, less than 30 minuets of exposure

ACGIH exposure limits
Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
concentration of a chemical most workers can be exposed to during a work schedule without adverse effects. Based on industrial experimetns and animal studies

Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
TLV-TWA
time weighted average concentration for an average workday that causes no adverse efffects
time weighted average concentration for an average workday that causes no adverse efffects
TLV-TWA
TLV-STEL
a short term exposure limit/maximum concentration for 15 minuets without adverse effects.

TLV-STEL
TLV-C (Celing limit)
never exceed tis concentrations.
