LEAD EXPOSURE AND THE DERIVATION OF MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CONCENTRATIONS AND THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES
AUTOR(ES)
Tsuchiya, Kenzaburo
RESUMO
The terms maximum allowable concentration (M.A.C.) and threshold limit value (T.L.V.) differ in their respective meanings. The M.A.C. is a ceiling concentration whereas the T.L.V. is a time-weighted average of the concentration of the hazardous agent in the atmosphere. The value attributed to M.A.C. or T.L.V. will vary with the criteria decided upon for the response selected. This response may be a clinical or biochemical change in human subjects resulting from the hazardous agent.
