Exposure Limits Terms and AbbreviationsIDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health)*– The maximum concentrationlevel of a substance (gas) from which a worker could escape within 30 minuteswithout developing immediate, severe or irreversible health effects, or other escape-impairing symptoms. IDLH levels are measured in ppm (parts per million). *As defined by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health).

PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit) – An airborne concentration of contaminant thatmost workers can be exposed to repeatedly in a normal 8-hour day, in a 40-hourweek, without adverse health effect. PEL levels are measured in ppm (parts permillion) and are established by OSHA.

PPM (Parts Per Million) – The most common unit of measurement for toxic gases.“10,000 parts per million” gas concentration equals 1% by volume.

TLV (Threshold Limit Value)* – Refers to the airborne concentration of substances towhich most workers can be repeatedly exposed over a working lifetime withoutadverse effects.

* As defined by ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists).

There are three categories of TLVs:

TLV – TWA (Time Weighted Average) – This is the average amount of gas that aworker can be repeatedly exposed to in a normal 8-hour day, in a 40-hour week,without adverse health effects.

TLV – STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) – The gas concentration to which mostworkers can be continuously exposed for a 15-minute time period withoutsuffering adverse health affects that would impair self-rescue or worker safety.This limit should not be repeated more than 4 times per day and there should beat least 60 minutes between individual STEL exposure periods.

TLV – C (Ceiling) – The highest gas concentration to which workers may beexposed. Ceiling TLVs should never be exceeded and they take precedence overall TWAs and STELs.

LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) – The lowest concentration of a gas or vapor that willignite and sustain combustion. “% LEL” is a common unit of measurement incombustible gas detection.

UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) – The maximum concentration at which a gas willsustain combustion.

Oxygen Deficient Atmosphere – An atmosphere containing less than 19.5% oxygenby volume. (Possesses a risk of insufficient oxygen for breathing.)

Oxygen Enriched Atmosphere – An atmosphere containing more than 25% oxygen byvolume. (Possesses an increased risk of explosion.)

Cross-SensitivitySince sensor output is driven by chemical reactions, there are circumstanceswhere gases other than those being monitored will cause a reading on theinstrument display. This is known as "cross-sensitivity". Users should beaware of this potential when selecting an instrument. For more informationconsult the instrument technical manual or MSA's Customer Service Center.

While uses and performancecapabilities are described, under nocircumstances shall the products be used by untrained or unqualifiedindividuals and not until the product instructions including any warnings or cautions provided have been thoroughly read and understood.
