Occupational exposure limits for therapeutic substances.
Few therapeutic substances have occupational exposure limits (OELs) set by regulatory bodies and reliance is often placed on in-house OELs derived from a formula based on the therapeutic dose. This mode of derivation relies on assumptions about pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and risk acceptability which might not be soundly based for occupational health purposes. Pharmacodynamic evidence sh...

The OELs mirror the outcome of the risk assessment and risk management performed by the standard setting actor. In this study we compared the OELs established by 18 different organisations or national regulatory agencies. The OELs were compare...

متن کاملA quantitative comparison of the safety margins in the european indicative occupational exposure limits and the derived no-effect levels for workers under REACH.
The new European Union (EU) REACH legislation requires derived no-effect levels (DNELs) to be calculated for substances produced in quantities above 10 tonnes/year. Meanwhile, the setting of occupational exposure limits (OELs) continues both at the member state and the EU levels. According to REACH, indicative OEL values (IOELVs) from the Commission may under some circumstances be used as worke...
