Chemical Exposure Limits

Chemical exposure limits are guidelines that specify the maximum amount of a hazardous substance a person can safely be exposed to over a specific time period, usually in a workplace setting. These limits help protect workers' health by reducing the risk of harmful effects, like respiratory issues or long-term diseases. They're established based on scientific research and are set by organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). Adhering to these limits is crucial for maintaining a safe working environment and ensuring overall well-being.
