title: Occupational exposure standards in Canada: from ACGIH to?
abstract: The methods to control exposure to hazardous substances in Canadian workplaces have undergone several changes over the past 50 years. At first, government officials simply used good ventilation practices as a guide. Later, when the ACGIH published recommended exposure limits, a closely knit industrial hygiene community readily adopted them. Recently, the pre-eminent position of the ACGIH has come under scrutiny. As a consequence, there is a search for new bipartite or tripartite approaches toward standard setting.
