Exposure Limits

Exposure limits refer to the maximum amount of a substance, such as chemicals or pollutants, that a person can safely be exposed to, over a specific period, without harmful health effects. These limits are established by regulatory agencies to protect public health and the environment. They consider factors like the substance’s toxicity, how it affects the body, and the duration and frequency of exposure. In workplaces or communities, adherence to these limits helps prevent illnesses and ensures safety, promoting overall well-being.
