There nay be sone technical issues, for example sstapling and analytical capabilities with lowered PEL'S (such as phthallc anhydride), we need to conment on. Many of the other reductions will probably cause little problem as to the actual exposure levels. Many companies already use TLV's as internal guidelines. For your information, OSHA is already looking specifically at butadiene, and the proposed PEL may be even lower than the IV ppm TLV. Also, I've heard that it is unlikely the contractors will recommend changes in all cases of a different TLV. Sincerely, UEV-2392S5
