| Abstract |
In this report the Dutch Committee on Occupational Standards discusses the consequences of occupational exposure to bisphenol A and its diglycidyl ether and recommends occupational exposure limits. Main conclusions: in humans, bisphenol A causes mild irritation of the skin, eyes, nose and throat; the diglycidyl ether is a skin sensitizer. Recommended occupational exposure limits for both substances (8h TWA): 10 mg/m3 for substances in the form of inhalable dust, and 5mg/m3 for respirable dust. Skin contact with bisphenol A diglycidyl ether should be avoided. Summary in Dutch. |
