    The ACGIH proposes limiting carbon monoxide exposure to 8 ppm over an 8-hour TWA with a 15 ppm STEL and a 100 ppm ceiling. Several commenters expressed concerns about the proposed limits, pointing out that exposure to CO at levels approaching 8 ppm is not generally associated with overt signs or symptoms of health impairment in healthy individuals under non-stressful conditions. However, ACGIH cites studies showing that CO exposure at levels below 8 ppm TWA may impair cardiac function in patients with cardiovascular disease. While acknowledging the uncertainties, ACGIH believes the proposed limits are prudent to protect workers with chronic heart disease.
