TLV of toluene is 100 ppm, so the worker is overexposed hence additional control measures are to be
developed. On a temporary and immediate basis, appropriate respirators are to be worn
Problem 2
Problem 3
Data:
Evaluating Worker Exposure to Dusts
• Dust evaluation calculations
are identical to that used for
volatile vapors.
• mg/m3 or mppcf (millions of
particles per cubic foot)
Evaluating Worker Exposures to Noise
• Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB)
• dB is a relative logarithmic scale used to compare the intensities of
two sounds.
• If I is the intensity of one sound and Io is the intensity of another
sound, then difference in the intensity levels in decibels is given by:
