Come and get it! Read all about it! The new TLV's are here plus more!!
The ACGIH® Board of Directors ratified the 2012 Threshold Limit Values (TLVs®) for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents and Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs®) on December 9 and 15, 2011. The Board also approved recommendations for additions to the Notice of Intended Changes (NIC). For a listing of the substances that were acted upon, click here. The complete Annual Reports are online at the ACGIH® Online Publications Store. Cost to purchase this reference book is $50
This is good work and information by ACGIH, but it still only covers OELs for several hundred chemicals.
OELs have been established for over 6,000 DIFFERENT CHEMICALS by regulatory agencies in over 50 countries. These OELS can be found in "Global Occupational Exposure Limits for over 6,000 Specific Chemicals." http://www.oehcs.com/global_exposure_standards.htm. Cost to purchase the book is $140.
These OELs have been established by the toxicological experts in those countries.
The Army, Navy, NIOSH, DOE, numerous chemical companies all use this book for chemicals for which ACGIH has not established any OELs.
If you use a chemical with no TLV, you need to consult this reference.
