When applied, the limits should not be used as an index of relative hazard and toxicity, nor should they be used as the dividing line between safe and dangerous concentrations. The list is not comprehensive and the absence of a substance does not indicate that it is safe. The WEL values are set on the recommendations of the HSC s Advisory Committee on Toxic Substances. This follows a scientific assessment by another committee, the Working Group on the Assessment of Toxic Chemicals (WATCH). These committees decide whether to assign a limit to a particular substance and the concentration to be adopted.
