It is produced in mass quantities but creates dangerous vapors and is an environmental contaminant at many industrial and government facilities, including facilities run by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). It is important to determine the safe occupational exposure level (OEL) for the solvent in order to protect the health of workers who are exposed to its vapors. However, there are concerns that the current occupational standards insufficiently protect workers from these health threats.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReview of DOD's Approach to Deriving an Occupational Exposure Level for Trichloroethylene\u003c\/i\u003e makes recommendations to improve the DoD's approach to developing an OEL for TCE, strengthen transparency of the process, and improve confidence in the final OEL value. This report reviews the DoD's approach using a literature review, evidence synthesis based on weight of evidence [WOE], point-of-departure derivation, physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, extrapolation tools, and explores other elements of the process of deriving an OEL for TCE. It examines scientific approaches to developing exposure values and cancer risk levels, defining the scope of the problem, and improving hazard identification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Academies Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889263394967,"sku":"9780309499248","price":5121.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780309499248.webp?v=1781175321","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/review-of-dods-approach-to-deriving-an-occupational-exposure-level-for-trichloroethylene-9780309499248","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
