Surface Limits: How are they derived & how should they be used in Industrial Hygiene practice?
This ACGIH® webinar focuses on the Surface Limits (TLV®-SL) recommended by the Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances (TLV®-CS) Committee. Surface limits are designed to provide a target level for alternative monitoring strategies for chemical substances that may be absorbed through the skin or eyes or may induce skin or respiratory sensitization following dermal exposure.
