A substance has a Threshold Limit Value - Time Weighted Average (TLV-TWA) of
200ppm, a Threshold Limit Value - Short Term Exposure Limit (TLV-STEL) of 250 ppm,
and a Threshold Limit Value - Ceiling (TLV-C) of 300ppm. The data in the following table
were taken in the work area at the times indicated.
A worker on an 8 hour shift is exposed to this toxic vapor. Assume that the worker is at lunch
between 12:00 and 13:00 and is not exposed to the chemical during that time.
Is the exposure of the worker to the toxic substance within compliance? If not, what are
the violations?
TLV-TWA=?bar(C1)T1+bar(C2)T2+cdots+bar(Cn)Tn8hr
NOTE: Work your computations in a tabular form.
