The TLVs and BEIs are health-based values established by committees that review existing published and peer-reviewed literature in various scientific disciplines (e.g., industrial hygiene, toxicology, occupational medicine, and epidemiology). TLVs have been recommended for more than 700 chemical substances and physical agents and there are more than 50 BEIs that cover more than 80 chemical substances. Documentations provide the rationale for the TLVs and BEIs these can be purchased via the ACGIH Web site (ACGIH 2007). 

The Nordic Expert Group for Criteria Documentation of Health Risks from Chemicals (NEG) consisted of scientific experts from the five Nordic countries representing different fields of science, such as toxicology, occupational hygiene, and occupational medicine. The main task was to produce criteria documents (Figure 3.10) to be used by the regulatory authorities of the Nordic countries as the scientific basis for setting Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) for chemical substances.

Toxicology. Occupational exposure to vinyl chloride is associated with an increased incidence of angiosarcoma of the liver and other malignant tumors, acroosteolysis, Raynaud syndrome, scleroderma, thromhocytopenia, circulatory dismrbances, and impaired liver function. Very high concentrations cause central nervous system (CNS) depression.

Exposure of the skin to C5-C8 liquids causes dermatitis. This is the most common toxicological occupational problem associated with the use of hydrocarbon liquids in the workplace, and is a consequence of the dissolution of the fat portions of the skin. In addition to becoming inflamed, the skin becomes dry and scaly.
