The threshold limit value. (three categories of threshold limit values)
The Threshold Limit Value (TLV(R) ) of a chemical substance establishes the reasonable level to
which a worker may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, over a working lifetime without adverse
health effects.
A Time Weighted Average (TWA) is a TLV(R) based on a 8-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek.
For example, the TWA for carbon monoxide is 25 ppm. This means that an average of 25 ppm is
considered to be the safe TLV(R) for an 8-hour workday.
A Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is a TLV(R) based on a 15-minute average.
A Ceiling is a TLV that should not be exceeded during any part of the work experience.
64. What is the PEL?
Permissible exposure limit (PEL) is a regulatory limit on the amount or concentration of a
substance in the air. This is usually based on an eight-hour time weighted average (TWA), although
some are based on short-term exposure limits (STEL).
65. What is ASPHYXIANTS?
An asphyxiant gas is a nontoxic or minimally toxic gas which reduces or displaces the normal oxygen
concentration in breathing air. Breathing of oxygen-depleted air can lead to death
by asphyxiation (suffocation).
Examples include nitrogen, argon, helium, methane, propane, carbon dioxide.
1. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless,
2. Nitrogen gas (N2) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless,
3. Propane Propane (C3 H8 ), which is both colorless and odorless in its gaseous,
