1. BASIS FOR EXPOSURE STANDARDS 1.1 Substances listed in this document have exposure standards based on health effects for most workers. However, there are a number of instances where other considerations, such as, economic, social or technological implications, or sampling and analytical limitations, have also been taken into account, especially for those substances with the notation 'A* ' in the Reference column of the list of adopted national exposure standards. No standard should be applied without reference to the related documentation. 1.2 Documentation for the majority of substances can be found in the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists' (ACGIH) documentation of the threshold limit values and biological exposure indices.1,2 An 'H' in the Reference column of the adopted national exposure standards indicates that the reader should refer to the ACGIH documentation for further information. Entries carrying the notation 'A' in the final column of the list of adopted national exposure standards, have been reviewed in detail by the Exposure Standards Expert Working Group and documentation supporting the adopted national values is available in National Commission's Documentation of the Exposure Standards3 [NOHSC:10003(1995)]. 1.3 Partial documentation is provided where the major part of the adopted exposure standard is supported by the documentation of the ACGIH but the adopted national standard differs from that recommended by the ACGIH in one or more details. 1.4 The notation 'R' in the final column of the list of exposure standards indicates those substances which require further review by the Exposure Standards Expert Working Group (see Appendix 3 of the National Commission's Guidance Note on the Interpretation of Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment 4 [NOHSC:3008(1995)]). In most cases the ACGIH documentation1,2 should be consulted for these substances. 1.5 The notation 'Ch' in the Reference column of the list of adopted exposure standards indicates those substances for which the Exposure Standards Expert Working Group has proposed additions/changes to the existing standards. 1.6 Proposed changes or additions to the National Commission's Adopted National Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment [NOHSC:1003(1995)] have been published separately. 5 1.7 The list of synonyms, which appears as Appendix 4 of the National Commission's Guidance Note on the Interpretation of Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment 4 [NOHSC:3008(1995)], should be consulted if the required substances cannot be identified in the list of adopted national exposure standards.

2. INTERPRETATION 2.1 In this national standard:

'Exposure standard' means an airborne concentration of a particular substance in the worker's breathing zone, exposure to which, according to current knowledge, should not cause adverse health effects nor cause undue discomfort to nearly all workers. The exposure standard can be of three forms; time-weighted average (TWA), peak limitation, or short term exposure limit (STEL). 'Exposure standard - peak' means a maximum or peak airborne concentration of a particular substance determined over the shortest analytically practicable period of time which does not exceed 15 minutes. 'Exposure standard - short term exposure limit (STEL)' means a 15 minute TWA exposure which should not be exceeded at any time during a working day even if the eight-hour TWA average is within the TWA exposure standard. Exposures at the STEL should not be longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than four times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. 'Exposure standard - time-weighted average (TWA)' means the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week. 'Practicable ' means 'practicable' in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, 'reasonably practicable' in New South Wales, South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory and Commonwealth jurisdiction and 'a reasonable precaution' in Tasmania.

COLUMN HEADINGS, ABBREVIATIONS AND FOOTNOTES USED IN THE LIST OF ADOPTED NATIONAL EXPOSURE STANDARDS 3.1 Chapter, section and appendix numbers refer to the National Commission's Guidance Note on the Interpretation of Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment 4 [NOHSC:3008(1995)]. COLUMN HEADINGS AND ABBREVIATIONS (1) Substance The description of the atmospheric contaminant (see Section 19.2-3) (2) CAS # Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (see Section 19.4-19.6)
(3) TWA Exposure standard - time weighted average (see Chapters 5 and 6) ppm Parts of vapour or gas per million parts of contaminated air by volume (see Section 19.7) mg/m3 Milligrams of substance per cubic metre of air at 25C and one atmosphere pressure. When entry is in this column only, the value is exact: when listed with a ppm value, it is approximate. (see Section 19.7-8). f/mL Fibres per millilitre of air as determined by the membrane filter method6,7

P Prohibition recommended (see Chapter 3) (4) STEL Exposure standard - short term exposure limit. Where the words 'peak limitation' appear in this column the exposure standard - peak should be applied to the value listed in Column 3. (see Chapter 6) ppm and mg/m3 (see above)

1 Established human carcinogen (see Chapter 13) 2 Probable human carcinogen (see Chapter 13) 3 Substances suspected of having carcinogenic potential (see Chapter 13)

(6) Notices Indicates whether the contaminant can be absorbed through the skin and/or is a sensitiser.

Sk Absorption through the skin may be a significant source of exposure (see Chapter 11)

(7) Reference (Ref) Indicates the source of documentation, whether the standard is under review or whether a change to the standard has been proposed.7

(7) Reference (Ref)/continued

H ACGIH1,2 is the documentation source R Substance reqiring review (see Appendix 3)

FOOTNOTES (a) (b) This value is for inspirable dust containing no asbestos and < 1% crystalline silica (see Chapter 14) Fibres longer than 5 m, width less than 3 m and with an aspect ratio of not less than 3:1, as measured by the membrane filter method, at 400-650X magnification phase contrast illumination. Lint free dust as measured by the vertical elutriator cotton dust sampler described in the Transactions of the National Conference on Cotton Dust and Health 1970, North Carolina University Press, Chapel Hill, pp. 33-43, 1971. For a few substances, usually the more potent probable and established human carcinogens, it is not currently possible to assign an appropriate exposure standard. For these substances, exposure should be controlled to the lowest practicable level. The Exposure Standards Expert Working Group has recommended guidelines to control short term excursions above the TWA. The guidelines have been developed based on the toxicokinetic properties of carbon monoxide. A guidance table for the control of short term excursions above the TWA is available at page 23 of the National Commission documentation3 for carbon monoxide. For the three substances marked with this footnote (Benomyl, Caprolactam vapour, and Sodium azide), the exposure standards are established as gravimetric (mg/m3) values and converted into volumetric values (see Section 19.9). Containing no asbestos and < 1% crystalline silica (see Chapter 14). Documentation for the substances with this footnote can be found in the 5th Edition of the ACGIH documentation of the threshold limit values and biological exposure indices.1 For all other substances with 'H' in Column 7 the documentation can be found in the 6th Edition of the ACGIH documentation of the threshold limit values and biological exposure indices.2
