TLV - Threshold Limt Value - It is the concentration of the gas in air to which personal
may be exposed 08 hrs per day or 40 hrs per week throughout their working life without
adverse effect.
The Basic TLV is Time Weighted Average (TWA),
this may be supplemented by TLV (STEL) - Short Term Exposure Limit or TLV (C) Ceiling Exposure Limit which should not be exceeded even instantaneousely.
