The employee’s average airborne exposure in any 8 hour work shift of a 40 hour work week which should not be exceeded.
Time weighted average (8 hour) (twa)
The probability of a viable microorganism being present on a product unit after sterilization..

The process by which ethylene oxide destroys microorganism, resulting in the inability of the cell to normally metabolize, reproduce or both.
Alkylation
The act or process of oxidizing chemical breakdown of nutrients for energy
Oxidation
A process by which a device is actively subjected to moving air
