BGIA: GESTIS International limit values for chemical agents
Description
This database contains a collection of occupational limit values for hazardous substances gathered from various EU member states and the United States as of 2005. The EU limit values include the additions of February 2006. Limit values of more than 1,000 substances are listed. Limit values for fibrous substances like asbestos are not included here. The chemical names of the substances were adopted from the nomenclature as used in the original sources for national limit values. Thus, for retrieval of substances, the use of CAS numbers is strongly recommended. For synonyms of the chemical names given, please refer to e. g. GESTIS substance database. The present database was elaborated in co-operation with experts from: - Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt (AUVA)
- ENI Corporate
- Eurofins Danmark A/S
- Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL)
- National Center for Public Health (NCPH)
- Institut National de Recherche et de Sécurité (INRS)
- Instituto Nacional de Seguridad e Higiene en el Trabajo (INSHT)
- Institute for Applied Environmental Research, Air Pollution Laboratory (ITM)
- National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
The legal definition of limit values is not identical in every country, e. g. the definitions of aerosol fractions are not uniform, or short term limit values have a different scope. For more detailed information on a specific limit value, the individual list of limit values should be refered to as the primary source. This database only gives an overview of limit values in different countries. For limit values given in brackets, in bold or italic letters, please note the remarks. - Further International limit values:
