Threshold Limit Value - Time-Weighted Average: The time-weighted average concentration for a normal 8 hour work day and a 40 hour work week, to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, without adverse effect.
Time Weighted Average - The average amount of gas (in PPM) a worker can be exposed to over a certain time period. This time is defined as 8 hours to represent a normal work day.
