title: Short-term occupational exposure limits: a simplified approach.
abstract: This paper presents a simplified proposal for setting health standards based on short-term exposure limits (STEL). It presents an alternative to the approach by the German MAC Commission: with only three instead of five categories, no fixed excursion factors, but ranges; more restrictive duration of sampling; no fixed frequencies of the number of accepted excursions per workshift.
