Permissible Exposure Level; a term used to express the average airborne concentration of a material to which persons are legally allowed to be exposed. This is based generally on an eight hour time weighted average concentration.
permissable exposure limit
Permissible Exposure Level; OSHA air standard.
Probable Effects Level. An estimate of the concentration of a potentially toxic substance in the sediment above which the substance is likely to cause adverse effects to aquatic organisms.
Permissible Exposure Limits. legal limits in the U.S.A. set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA).
The upper limits/concentration of a compound allowed in the air of a workplace during an eight-hour workday.
Permissible exposure limits. Permissible exposure limits (PELs) are employee exposures to toxic substances or harmful agents that must not be exceeded. PELs are specified in applicable WISHA rules.
Permissible Exposure Limit. Compare? Workplace exposure limits for contaminants established by OSHA.
Permissible exposure limit. An exposure limit that is published and enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration as a legal standard. A permissible exposure limit may be either a time-weighted-average (TWA) exposure limit (8 hour), a 15-minute short-term exposure limit (STEL), or a ceiling limit (CL).
Permissible Exposure Limit. The allowable exposure that an employee can be exposed to over an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA). For formaldehyde, the limit is 0.75 parts per million (ppm).

Permissible Exposure Limit - An occupational exposure limit established by OSHA's regulatory authority.
Permissible Exposure Level, a maximum allowable exposure level under OSHA regulations (see " What are exposure limits?", Understanding Toxic Substances).
a legal limit to the amount of a specific chemical allowed in workroom air, usually averaged over a full work day. If the PEL says "S" or "skin", it means your skin can absorb the chemical and the employer must protect you against skin contact. Only about 600 of the most common chemicals have PELs; thousands of other hazardous chemicals are not regulated by Cal/OSHA and have no PELs.
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT. The legally established time-weighted average (TWA) concentration or ceiling concentration of a contaminant that shall not be exceeded.
Acronym for ermissible xposure imit. The allowable exposure level in the workplace for a particular pollutant over an 8-hour shift. See also TWA
(Permissible Exposure Limit) Established by OSHA. This may be expressed as a TWA, STEL, or CEL(C).
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits
Permissible Exposure Limit. May be a Time Weighted Average (TWA limit) or a "ceiling" concentration exposure limit
Permissible Exposure Limit. A list published by California Occupational Health and Safety Administration for exposure concentrations that a healthy individual normally can tolerate for 8 hours a day, five days a week, without harmful effects. Airborne particulate concentrations are listed as milligrams per cubic meter of air (mg/m3), and gaseous concentrations are listed as parts per million (ppm,) by volume.
Concentration in air that has been declared safe to breathe by governmental regulation (OSHA).
OSHA specified limits for exposure by unprotected workers to toxic contaminants listed in 29 CFR 1910.1000.
Permissible Exposure Limits for the work place, set by regulation and enforced by OSHA. Most of these limit values were originally set, by consensus, by the ACGIH to assist industrial hygienists in implementing exposure control programs. As law, these are listed in 29 CFR 1910.1000 and subject to revision through the regulatory process.
permissible exposure limit. For federal purposes PELs refer to three different types of exposure limits to a hazardous substance: a ceiling limit, a short term (15 minute) limit, and an eight-hour time-weighted average (TWA) limit. These limits are enforceable by law.
Permissible Exposure Limit. 90 dBA TWA. Employees may be exposed to 90 dBA for an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) exposure without experiencing serious hearing effects.
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. Legal limits set by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). See TLV.
OSHA permissible exposure limit; an action level of one half this value may be applicable
See PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT.
Permissible Exposure Limit. An exposure limit that is published and enforced by OSHA as a legal standard. PEL may be either a time-weighted average (TWA) exposure limit (8 hour), or a 15 minute short term exposure limit (STEL) or a ceiling (C). The PEL's are found in Tables Z1, Z2 or Z3 of OSHA Regulation 1910.1000.
Permissible Exposure Levels (set by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA), A PEL is the TWA concentration that must not be exceeded during any eight-hour work shift of a 40-hour work week. Chemical manufacturers pub- lish similar recommendations (e.g., acceptable exposure level, AEL; industrial exposure limit, IEL; or occupational exposure limit, OEL depending on company), generally for substances for which a PEL has not been established.
Permissible exposure limit; an exposure limit established by OSHA regulatory authority. May be a time weight average (TWA) limit or a maximum concentration exposure limit.
a time-weighted average (TWA) or absolute value (usually prescribed by regulation) setting out the maximum permitted exposure to a hazardous chemical.
permissible exposure limit. Recommendation by US OSHA for TWA concentration that must not be exceeded during any 8-hour work shift of a 40h working week. RT maximum allowable concentration, threshold limit value, time weighted average concentration (TWAC), exposure limit
Permissible Exposure Limit. PELs are established by the Department of Labor acting through OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). A PEL represents the maximum worker exposure allowed for a substance over an eighthour day. While both threshold limit values (TLVs) and PEL values have been established for many substances, they are not necessarily the same. The TLVs are examined and modified more frequently than the PEL values. Consequently, in most cases, the TLV represents a more recent evaluation of the hazards associated with worker exposure to a substance.
Permissible Exposure Limit. Occupational exposure limit established by OSHA. Time weighted average limit or maximum concentration exposure limit.
permissible exposure level. average concentration that must not be exceeded during 8-hour work shift of a 40-hour work week.
Permissible exposure limit established by OSHA. Expressed as a time-weighted average (TWA) or a ceiling exposure limit that must never by exceeded instantaneously even if the TWA exposure is not violated. OSHA PEL's have the force of law.
Permissible Exposure Limit - The safe exposure level set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (see also TLV).
Permissible Exposure Limit - Level of gas (in PPM) a worker can be exposed to 8 hours a day / 40 hours a week for the rest of their life with no long term health effects.
Limits developed by OSHA to indicate the maximum airborne concentration of a contaminant to which an employee may be exposed.
Abbreviation for Permissible Exposure Limit. Term used by OSHA for its health standards covering exposures to hazardous chemicals. PEL generally relates to legally enforceable TLV limits. An occupational health term used to describe exposure limits for employees. Usually described in time weighted averages (TWA) or short term exposure limits (STEL).
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT. The maximum time-weighted concentration at which 95% of exposed, healthy adults suffer no adverse effects over a 40-hour work week and are comparable to ACGIH's TLV/TWA. PELs are used by OSHA and are based on an eight-hour, time-weighted average concentration.
