0SHA Standard 1910.93q(.1017) on vinyl chloride sets a permissible exposure limit of lppm averaged over any 8 hr. period and 5ppm over any 15 minute period. On the basis that polyvinyl chloride may contain and release small amounts of monomer, the Standard applies to the manufacture, reaction, packaging, repackaging, storage, handling, use or transportation of PVC, but not to.handling or use of "fabricated products", as defined, if not subject to Drocessina sufficient in time or temDerature to cause mass_melrinn*
