| Resumen |
Recommendations are made for the prevention of adverse effects of benzene on the health and safety of workers. The time-weighted average (TWA) exposure (10-h working day) should not exceed 10ppm (32mg/m3) over a 40-h week. Other recommendations relate to medical supervision, labelling, personal protection, information of employees, work practices, monitoring and record keeping. The criteria on which the recommendations are based are discussed at some length under the following heads: biological effects of exposure; environmental data; development of a standard. Procedures for sampling and analysis of benzene in air are described in detail and useful additional information is given in appendices. |
