Chemical Permissible Exposure Limit (source : https://www.osha.gov/annotated-pels/table-z-1)

*The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of a chemical substance establishes the reasonable level to which a worker
may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, over a working lifetime without adverse health effects.

*A Time Weighted Average (TWA) is a TLV based on a 8-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek. For example
the TWA for carbon monoxide is 25 ppm. This means that an average of 25 ppm is considered to be the safe
TLV for an 8-hour workday.
*A Short Term Exposure Limit (ST) is a TLV based on a 15 minute average.
*A Ceiling is a TLV that should not be exceeded during any part of the work experience.
**Exposure by all routes should be carefully controlled to levels as low as possible.
