THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE DS2 is made of two major components (EGME DETA) with different toxicities and physical properties. The TLV of the mixture (calculated) is 5.2 mg/m3 as an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA). To date the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSH A) has not promulgated a permissible exposure limit for DS2 nor has the value proposed been officially adopted as a part of a special occupational safety and health standard for DS2 according to DOD 6055.1.

According to Section 1910.134(b) of the Occupational Safety and Health Standards in Title 29 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, an acceptable respiratory program must be instigated whenever respiratory health hazards are present in the work environment. The employer must develop formal written operational procedures covering every aspect of the program, including, for example, how contaminants are controlled, how contaminant concentration is measured, and how respirators are selected, used, cleaned, inspected, repaired, and stored. 

The first occupational safety and health standards were set when, with only minor changes, the 1968 ACGIH list of nearly 400 TLVs, as well as certain standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), were incorporated into the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act. They thereby became limits of exposure for employees of federal government contractors.

Fire hazard is viewed from the standpoint of safety, to which in the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Standard (OSH) is often used as the basis for classification of flammables versus a combustible material. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Transportation also has very specific definitions regarding classification of fire hazards based on safe transport of materials. For initial discussions we will adhere to the OSHA definitions, and later refer to distinctions in U.S. federal definitions which are legal standards. 

No regulations were located for PBBs and PBDEs for occupational safety and health standards, water quality, and food safety. 

The Occupational Safety and Health Standards (29 CFR 1910.1025 [2005]) require employers to collect biomonitoring samples from workers who have been exposed to airborne lead above the current action level of 30 pg/m3. Employers must have the samples analyzed by laboratories that have met OSHA requirements for blood lead proficiency testing. State health departments often require that increased blood lead results be reported (OSHA 2005). 

Most of the analytical methods in Parts 2 and 3 of this text are abstracted from the methodologies of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, and the American Society for Testing and Materials. Some methods are abstracted from other reliable publications or journal articles. The few suggested methods of analysis as found in this handbook are either based on the structural features of the compounds or the author s own experimental work and personal communications.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) develops criteria documents to describe the scientific basis for occupational safety and health standards. They contain critical reviews of the available literature on physical and chemical properties, uses and occurrence, toxicokinetics, general toxicity, toxic effects on various organs, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and developmental and reproductive toxicity of particular agents. Data are evaluated in the context of potential human occupational exposures, and recommendations for minimizing safety and health risks are provided. Most of these documents were written more than 10 years ago, and many are more than 20 years old.
