| Resumen |
An introduction considering various aspects of how to be healthy and stay healthy is followed by observations on the hazards imposed on workers by specialists fixing TLVs. The article then draws attention to the present uncertainty regarding biological effects and the criteria (usually not disclosed) used in establishing TLVs. The authors are of the opinion that the workers themselves - being obviously the most directly concerned parties - should be consulted and should have joint participation in decisions fixing TLVs. The article reproduces proposals, put forward by the chemical industry workers' trade unions, for the establishment in the Netherlands of a Joint National Committee for the Establishment of Threshold Limit Values. A critical examination of the authors' point of view, followed by the authors' rejoinder, appeared in the same periodical, No.4, 18 Feb. 1976, p.137-138. |
