A recommended exposurelimit REL is an occupationalexposurelimit that has been recommended by the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA for adoption as a permissible exposurelimit . The REL is a level that NIOSH believes would be protective of worker safety and health over a working lifetime if used in combination with engineering and work practice controls, exposure and medical monitoring, posting and labeling of hazards, worker training and personal protective equipment . No REL has ever been adopted by OSHA, but they have been used as guides by some industry and advocacy organizations. RELs for chemical exposures are usually expressed in parts per million ppm , or sometimes in milligram s per cubic metre mg m sup 3 sup .

The permissible exposurelimit PEL or OSHA PEL is a law legal limit in the United States for exposure of an employee to a chemical substance or physical agent. For chemicals, the regulation of chemicals chemical regulation is usually expressed in parts per million ppm , or sometimes in milligram s per cubic metre mg m sup 3 sup . Units of measure for physical agents such as noise are specific to the agent. Permissible exposure limits are established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA . A PEL is usually given as a time weighted average TWA , although some are short term exposurelimit s STEL or ceiling limit s. A TWA is the average exposure over a specified period of time, usually a nominal eight hours. This means that, for limited periods, a worker may be exposed to concentrations higher than the PEL, so long as the average concentration over eight hours remains lower. A short term exposurelimit is one that addresses the average exposure over a 15 30 minute period of maximum exposure during a single work shift. A ceiling limit is one that may not be exceeded for any period of time, and is applied to irritants and other materials that have immediate effects.

Inhalation Exposure Category Pollution Category Occupational safety and health ...Expert subject date May 2011 Refimprove date May 2011 Inhalation is a major route of exposure that occurs when an individual breathes in polluted air which enters the respiratory tract. Identification of the pollutant uptake by the respiratory system can determine how the resulting exposure contributes to the Dose biochemistry dose . In this way, the mechanism of pollutant uptake by the respiratory system can be used to predict potential health impacts within the human population. Definition Inhalation exposure is the concentration of the airborne pollutant in the air at the mouth and nose boundary. An assumption is that this concentration is inhaled by the person. The contact boundary, a particular nasal or oral region, is selected by the analyst. Intake dose is the mass of the pollutant that crosses the contact boundary and is inhaled by the individual. Some of this pollutant is exhaled, and the fraction that is absorbed by the respiratory system is known as the absorbed dose . A portion of the pollutant may also be expelled by sneezing, coughing, spitting, or swallowing. The remaining pollutant that is transported through the liquid layer, making contact with the respiratory tract tissues is the fraction of bioavailability , called the effective dose.
