Older studies of health effects and occupational exposure measured dust exposure in units of million particles per cubic foot (mppcf). This method did not distinguish fibrous from nonfibrous particles and used relatively low magnification, so only the largest fibers were detected. The British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS 1968) suggested that an asbestos air concentration of 1 mppcf is roughly equal to 3 fiber/mL (detected by PCM).

The British Occupational Hygiene Society was founded in 1953 to provide a forum in which specialist experience from many different but related fields could be exchanged and made available to the growing number of occupational hygienists at both national and international level, and to encourage discussion with other managerial and technical professions. The Society holds frequent conferences and meetings. 

The British Examining Board in Occupational Hygiene was set up by the British Occupational Hygiene Society in 1968 to examine candidates to well defined professional standards. 

Occupational hygiene is defined by the British Occupational Hygiene Society as the applied science concerned with the identification, measurement, appraisement of risk, and control to acceptable standards, of physical, chemical and biological factors arising in or from the workplace which may affect the health or well-being of those at work or in the community. ... 

The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) system is that developed and published in the USA by the American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), which in spite of its title is a non-governmental organisation. It is a scientific society similar to the British Occupational Hygiene Society.
