Occupational exposure standards. Historical outline and present state
The paper presents the history of hygienic standards setting in various countries, as well as the current situation in this respect. Methodological approaches to hygienic standards setting in the USA and USSR have been analysed and compared. The paper shows also the contribution of international organisations to unification of both the definition and the approach to MAC setting. The authors present systems of MAC setting in such countries as the USA (ACGIH, NIOSH, OSHA), the former USSR, Germany, the Scandinavian countries, Hungary and Poland. The paper comprises also classification of substances and carcinogenic agents adopted by IARC as well as the classifications in those countries which publish lists of carcinogens.

Threshold limit values, permissible exposure limits, and feasibility: The bases for exposure limits in the United States
The development of exposure limits in the United States has always relied heavily upon the threshold limit values (TLVs) developed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). In fact, most of the TLVs (1968 values) were adopted as permissible exposure limits (PELs) by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1971. Between 1971 and 1991, OSHA was able to establish its own PELs for only 12 substances, and in 1989 it adopted the 1987-1988 TLVs as its Air Contaminant Standard (CIS 90-373). Given the continuing importance of the ACGIH limits, this paper compares the basis of the TLVs with that employed by OSHA for the 12 PELs it developed itself. Using benzene as an example, it is shown that OSHA's new PELs were established following a rigorous assessment of the inherent risks and the feasibility of instituting the limit. The TLVs, on the other hand, were developed by ad hoc procedures and appear to have traditionally reflected levels thought to be achievable at the time. Implications of OSHA's continued reliance on the TLVs as a means of updating its PELs are discussed, and four alternatives are presented to the ACGIH regarding the future of its activities related to exposure limits. It is concluded that new mechanisms are needed for OSHA to update its PELs in a timely fashion so that the TLVs will not be adopted by default in the future.

Biological exposure indices
Indices biologiques d'exposition [en francés]
Biological exposure indices are reference values corresponding either to concentrations of chemicals or their metabolites in biological fluids or exhaled air or to biological response to a chemical substance. These indices can be used to assess workers' exposure to chemicals and must be considered as complementary to threshold limit values in the air. This paper presents the definitions of biological exposure indices given by the ACGIH in the United States (BEI) and by the DGF in Germany (BAT), describes their advantages and limitations; adopted 1992-1993 values are given in table form.

Dose quantities for protection against external radiations
This document provides guidance on the 1990 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Definitions of some new basic quantities, equivalent dose and effective dose are reviewed along with the operational dose equivalent quantities defined by the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurement (ICRU) for practical measurements of dose from external radiation in the workplace. It is recommended that the new quantities, equivalent dose and effective dose as defined by the ICRP be adopted as the primary limit quantities in radiological protection.
