STEL Short Term Exposure Limit - A 15 minute TWA exposure which should not be exceeded at any time during a
working day even if the eight-hour TWA average is within the TWA exposure standard. Exposures at the
STEL should not be longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than four times per day. There
should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL.

TLV Threshold Limit Value - TLV is a proprietary name registered by the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and refers to airborne concentrations of substances or levels of physical agents
to which it is believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse effect.
TWA Time Weighted Average - The average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over
a normal eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week.
