Lead Airborne Exposure Limit

The Lead Airborne Exposure Limit is a safety guideline set by health authorities to protect people from breathing in harmful amounts of lead in the air. It indicates the maximum concentration of lead particles that workers or the public can be exposed to over specific time periods without significant health risks. This limit helps ensure that airborne lead levels stay below harmful thresholds, reducing the chance of health problems such as neurological damage or other lead-related illnesses. It serves as a benchmark for workplaces and environments to implement safety standards and control measures.
