- Repeated skin contact may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Inhalation: Brief exposure (minutes) is not likely to cause adverse effects. at 100 ppm; higher levels produce eye, nose, and throat irritation and are intolerable at 1000 ppm. Anesthetic effects are seen at or above 1000 ppm.

- In an uncontaminated environment, the CPO has a total cumulative wear time of 100 hours within 30 days after opening the protective packages in which it is issued. The chemical protective ensemble (CPE), as shown in figure 9-2, consists of the CPO plus a protective mask, and a pair of boots and gloves.

- The “action level” is 5 parts per billion parts of air (ppb) of MDA and the “permissible exposure limit” (PEL) is 10 ppb. These exposure limits are based on an employee’s average exposure for an eight-hour work day. Relative to other exposure limits these limits are very low.

Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) For chemicals, STEL assessments are usually done for 15 minutes and expressed in parts per million (ppm), or sometimes in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3). In general, a short-term exposure limit appears on a Manufacturers Safety Data Sheet, which includes safety information about the substance in question.

Benzene Exposure OSHA has set limits of benzene exposure to 1 part per million parts air, averaged over an 8-hour day, according to the National Cancer Institute. Some recent studies have indicated that benzene may still have some harmful effects below the 1 part per million parts air standard set up by OSHA.

- Generally, the louder the noise, the shorter the exposure time before hearing protection is required. For instance, employees may be exposed to a noise level of 90 dB for 8 hours per day (unless they experience a Standard Threshold Shift) before hearing protection is required. On the other hand, if the noise level reaches 115 dB hearing protection is required if the anticipated exposure exceeds 15 minutes.

WELDING FUMES OSHA formerly had no limit for exposure to welding fumes, which are defined as fumes that are generated by the manual metal arc or oxy-acetylene welding of iron, mild steel, or aluminum. The ACGIH has set an 8-hour TWA of 5 mg/m3 for these welding fumes, measured as total particulate in the welder's breathing zone. OSHA proposed an 8-hour TWA of 5 mg/m3 for these fumes; this limit is established in the final rule.

Carbon Dioxide Measures Up as a Real Hazard CO 2 's Workplace Exposure Limits Carbon dioxide is listed as a toxic contaminant with strictly defined occupational exposure limits in almost every jurisdiction. The most widely recognized exposure limits for CO 2 reference an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of 5,000 ppm, with a 15-minute Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of either 15,000 ppm or 30,000 ppm.
