They represent condition* under whkb it b bettered that Marly aO workers may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, without adverse effect. 71m value* Sited refer to liute uelghtoJ average concentration* for a normal workday. The amount by which these figure* moy be exceeded for short period* without injury to health depend* upon o number of factori such a* the

Because it has been recognized that the threshold Bait* of cor lain mutely-acting tubtfance* may sol provide a safety footer comparable to that of cbronkatty-acting substances for which o timeweighted average applies, a C designation or ending bar been affixed to such values indicating that the Threshold Limit Value should hot be exceeded.

Threshold Omit* are based on the best avaifabto information from todriririd
experience, from experimerstal studies, and, when possible, from a combtoo-
Kon of the two. Them vetoes are'based on various criteria of toxic effect* 'or
on merited discomfort; thus; they should 'not be used as a* commoa de
nominator of toxiaty, nor should they be considered os the sole criterion to
proving or disproving diagnosis of inspected occupational disease.

- These Bouts are intended for use in the field of industrial hygiene and should be toteipreted and applied only by person* trained to this field. They are not intended for use, or for modification for use, (I) as a relative index of toxicity, by making o ratio of two Coils, or (2) to the evaluation or control of community ah poOutioo or ah pollution nuisances, or (3) to estimating the toxic potentfed of castftotroas uninterrupted exposures. -
These vetoes are reviewed asusuoffy by the Committee on Threshold Umfit for revisions, or additions, as further information become*-qvaifabfB. The Committee ewfeome* the ruggertioa of substances to be'added to the Gst and also comments, reference*, or report* of experience with' these malarial*. .
