| Abstract |
Information note on the monitoring of occupational exposure to ethylene oxide (EO). Though EO is not mentioned in Directive 91/322/EEC (CIS 92-1427) concerning indicative exposure limits within the Community, a STEL value of 5ppm over 15min has been given by OSHA. Tables indicate various determination methods for EO (NIOSH, OSHA, other methods, direct-reading methods), with their respective advantages. Validation criteria are also given. |
