Resumen Recommendations are made for the prevention of acute and chronic health disorders due to trichloroethylene. The time-weighted average (TWA) exposure (8 hours) should not exceed 100 ppm, and the ceiling concentration is fixed at 150 ppm. Other requirements relate to medical supervision, labelling, personal protection, information of employees, work practices, sanitation, monitoring and keeping of records. The criteria upon which the recommendations are based are discussed at some length under the following headings: biological effects of exposure; environmental data and biological evaluation; development of the standard. Procedures for the sampling and analysis of trichloroethylene in air are described in detail and useful additional information is given in appendices.
