The information in the user-friendly, pocket-sized TLVs and BEIs book is used worldwide as a guide for evaluation and control of workplace exposures to chemical substances and physical agents.
Threshold Limit Value (TLV) occupational exposure guidelines are recommended for more than 700 chemical substance and physical agents. There are more than 50 Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) that cover more than 80 chemical substances. Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry numbers are listed for each chemical. Introductions to each section and appendices provide philosophical bases and practical recommendations for using TLVs and BEIs.
The Guide to Occupational Exposure Values is a companion to the ACGIH TLVs and BEIs book and serves as a readily accessible reference for comparison of the most recently published values.
ACGIH is a member-based organization that advances occupational and environmental health and is one of the industry’s leading publications resources, with approximately 400 titles relative to occupation and environmental health and safety.
