Estimation of Occupational Exposure during Ceramic Manufacturing
Introduction: The present study investigated the relatively high concentrations of natural radionuclides in raw material that used in ceramic manufacturing, and estimated the occupational exposure due to these activity concentrations. Material and Methods: A high-purity Germanium detector was used to determine naturally occurring radionuclide...
متن کاملOccupational exposure limits for chemicals.
Occupational exposure limits (OELs) are tools to help employers protect the health of those who may be exposed to chemicals in their workplace. Under the United Kingdom Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations they define adequate control by inhalation. OELs are set by the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) on advice from its Advisory Committee on Toxic Substances (ACTS) an...
متن کاملReassessment of occupational exposure limits.
BACKGROUND Although the Netherlands currently has its own procedure for evaluating chemical compounds and setting occupational exposure limits (OELs), most of these limits were originally adopted in the 1970s from threshold limit values (TLVs) set by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). However, beginning in the late 1980s, criticism about non-scientific consid...
متن کاملOccupational exposure limits for therapeutic substances.
Few therapeutic substances have occupational exposure limits (OELs) set by regulatory bodies and reliance is often placed on in-house OELs derived from a formula based on the therapeutic dose. This mode of derivation relies on assumptions about pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and risk acceptability which might not be soundly based for occupational health purposes. Pharmacodynamic evidence sh...
متن کاملHistorical Context and Recent Advances in Exposure-Response Estimation for Deriving Occupational Exposure Limits
Virtually no occupational exposure standards specify the level of risk for the prescribed exposure, and most occupational exposure limits are not based on quantitative risk assessment (QRA) at all. Wider use of QRA could improve understanding of occupational risks while increasing focus on identifying exposure concentrations conferring acceptably low levels of risk to workers. Exposure-response...
