Spanish-language version of a document that originally appeared in the French publication Cahiers de notes documentaires - Hygiène et sécurité du travail, 2nd Quarter 1996, No.163, Note No.2022-163-96, p.197-227 (see CIS 96-1436). It comprises three parts: 1) An introduction presenting the respective policies of the two organizations, and definitions of the types of values given and their limitations. 2) A synoptic table of mean exposure limit values recommended by the ACGIH (United States) and the MAK Commission (Germany). The table also mentions carcinogenicity, the possibility of skin penetration, the risk of allergy and the types of particle considered (inhalable or alveolar). 3) An appendix containing all the relevant details for optimum use of the data provided. For the ACGIH: limit values for mixtures, dusts, carcinogens, dangerous substances of variable composition. For the MAK Commission: carcinogenic substances, mixtures, pregnancy, TRK values (technical reference concentrations), substances that alter the genetic heritage, metals dusts and compounds, smoking. |
