Extrapolating from toxicity data to occupational exposure limits: some considerations.
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper evaluates procedures relevant to extrapolating from toxicity data in man and animals to Occupational Exposure Limits. It examines effects at or around the "No Observed Adverse Effect Level' (NOAEL) and the magnitude of safety factors which can be applied in developing occupational exposure limits for non-stochastic effects. The relationship between incidence of stochastic effect and occupational exposure limit is also discussed.

Considerations for Using Genetic and Epigenetic Information in Occupational Health Risk Assessment and Standard Setting
Risk assessment forms the basis for both occupational health decision-making and the development of occupational exposure limits (OELs). Although genetic and epigenetic data have not been widely used in risk assessment and ultimately, standard setting, it is possible to envision such uses. A growing body of literature demonstrates that genetic and epigenetic factors condition biological respons...

متن کاملNew trends in the development of occupational exposure limits for airborne chemicals in China.
Occupational exposure limits (OELs) are well established in many countries, which serve occupational professionals as benchmarks of industrial hygiene practice at workplaces worldwide. Starting in the mid-1950s, the central government of China began promulgating OELs for hazardous substances at workplaces. This paper discusses the historical basis, philosophical principles and schematic protoco...
متن کاملA Novel Biological Dosimetry Method for Monitoring Occupational Radiation Exposure in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Wards: From Radiation Dosimetry to Biological Effects
Background and Objective: Professional radiation workers are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. Occupational health hazards from radiation exposure, in a large occupational segment of the population, are of special concern. Biological dosimetry can be performed in addition to physical dosimetry with the aim of individual dose assessment and biological effects....
متن کاملLow-toxicity dusts: current exposure guidelines are not sufficiently protective.
Exposure to low-toxicity dusts, which have previously been viewed as 'nuisance dusts', can cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other nonmalignant respiratory disease. In Britain, the 'de facto' airborne exposure limits for these dusts have remained unchanged for >30 years; currently, they are 10mg m(-3) for inhalable dust and 4mg m(-3) for respirable dust. During this time, exposures...
