TWENTY ANNUAL MEETING
OF THE
AMERICAN CONFERENCE
OF
GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS
ROCHESTER NEW YORK _
April 23-26 1960
that this The Subcommittee consisting of L. Silverman 3. J. Pearce and
H. Jordan has submitted a report on Recommendations Regarding Respiratory Protection Against Highly Toxic Aerosols This report has been circulated to the members and will be submitted for approval on April 25. The majority
of the committee members believe report should be distributed to
the ACGIH members This could be done by enclosing the page report in the newsletter to members or by publication in the AIHA Journal
The committee has received three requests for technical information
One request of interest was from A. E. Miller Chairman of the Subcommittes
of on Breathing Air Standards the C.G.A. Medical Gases Committee At the
chairman's suggestion Mr. Miller sent his request for information on
air standards breathing
to all of the committee members The committee will
consider breathing air standards in its technical manual but has not had
an opportunity to discuss such standards as a committes Two other requests
ware from industry asking for information on specific contaminants The .
by the Bureau of Mines chairman has U. S.
answered
such
requests
and
recommended
only
devices approved .

It is further suggested that the value for chlorobromomethane be
reduced from 400 p.p.m. to 200 p.p.m. in view of the high concentration of bromide found in the blood of animals after prolonged exposure to the higher
concentration Cyclopropane should be removed from the list because of lack
of published data to justify the previously listed 400 p.p.m. value
it is suggested that the value for manganese be changed from 6 mg

JHMHPESHHH
Your Committee has been greatly encouraged by the greater mumber of
e reports received from industry and others in respect to observations relating to threshold limit values These were concerned with chloroacetaldehyde beryllium lithiumhydride sodium hydroxide and ammonia
e exposures and some of them reported concentrations to which workers were
exposed and correlated the extent and degree of exposure with the presence
.
or absence of injury or irritation Comments such as these based on the
~
observation of exposed workers are vital in the thorough documentation of
threshold limit valus5
Considerable interes hats been shown through inquiries directed to
your Committee in respect to exposures to oil mist in industry Some State units have suggested threshold limit values for oil mist without specific reference to the nature of the oil or to materials which it may
.
contain There also seems to be a variety of methods which have been investigated for determining atmospheric concentrations of these materials This problem is being studied by industry and governmental units and it is hoped that mufficient data will result from these investigations to enable your Committes to further study the matter of establishing threshold limits for these materials It is recommended that the Air Sampling Instruments
Committee and The Recommended Analytical Methods Committee might also study
and consider this problem
It come to the attention of your Committee that threshold limit
values are still being misused One of the apparent reasons for misuse appears to be the lack of universal understanding of the principles set forth in the foreward preceding the table of Threshold Limit Values
One of the glaring examples of misuse relates to the use of Threshold Limit Values for comparing toxicity potentials of two or more materials Unfortunately very frequently one material is claimed to be so many times
more toxic than another because the threshold limit value of one material has
a correspondingly lower numerical threshold limit value
It is recommended that all industrial hygienists become
with the principles discussed in the foreword understand them
and encourage and promote their proper use
acquainted thoroughly
Documentation of all the threshold limit values appearing on our list
has been completed This should be publisdhureindg the coming year after
final review and editing by your Committee

Threshold Limit Values for 1960
Adopted at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
Rochester New York April 23-26 1960
Threshold limits should be used as guides in the control of health
hasards and should not be regarded as fine lines between safe and dangerous concentrations They represent conditions under which it is believed that hearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse effect The values listed refer to time weighted average concentrations for a normal workday The amount by which these figures may be exceeded for short periods without injury to health depends upon a number of factors
such as the nature of the contaminant whether very high concentrations even for short periods produce acute poisoning whether the effects are cumulative the frequency with which high concentrations occur and the duration of such periods All must be taken into consideration in arriving
at a decision as to whether a hazardous situation exists Special consideration should be given to the application of these values in the evaluation
of the health hazards which may be associated with exposure to combinations . of two or more substances
Threshold limits are based on the best available information from
industrial experience from experimental studies and when possible from
a combination of the two These values are based on various criteria of
toxic effects or on marked discomfort thus they should not be used as a common denominator of toxicity nor should they be considered as the sole criterion in proving or disproving diagnosis of suspected occupational
.
disease ,
. These limits are intended for use in the field of industrial hygiene and should be employed by persons trained in this field They are not
intended for use or for modification for use in the evaluation or control
of community air pollution or pollution muisances
These values are reviewed annually by the Committee on Threshold
Limits for changes revisions or additions as further information becomes available The Committee welcomes the suggestion of substances to be added
to the list and also comments references or reports of experience with
these materials
