The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established a Permissible Exposure Limit of 200 parts per million (ppm) for toluene. As an industrial hygienist, you are doing personal sampling on a worker who is in charge of a production process that uses toluene. The upcoming exposures can be measured: During one hour, 500 ppm 100 ppm for four hours and 225 ppm for three What is the TWA as calculated? What advice would you provide plant management regarding toluene exposure and PEL adherence?
