Threshold limit values (TLVs ) are determinations made by a voluntary body of independent knowledgeable individuals who represent the opinion of the scientific community that exposure at or below the level of the TLV does not create an unreasonable risk of disease or injury. TLVs are not ...
There have been many challenges to the development of Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) over the years. Three current challenges for both the setting of TLVs as well as the use of TLVs are described. The setting of TLVs for carcinogens will need to take into account new research on DNA ...

ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) is a list of recommended occupational exposure limits issued by the the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). TLVs standards for Threshold Limit Values.
Investigations into the historical development of specific Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for many substances have revealed serious shortcomings in the process followed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. Unpublished corporate communications were important in developing TLVs for ...
Threshold Limit Value (TLV®) Definition A TLV® reflects the level of exposure that the typical worker can experience without an unreasonable risk of disease or injury. TLVs® arenotquantitative estimates of risk at different exposure levels or by different routes of exposure....
