title: The nonuniform application of TLV's as legal workplace standards.
abstract: A survey of current Federal exposure limits for workplace air contaminants has revealed a surprising diversity of applicable TLV's. At least six different TLV lists are enforceable as legal standards by the Department of Labor. This nonuniformity is contrary to legislative intent, and is a source of administrative difficulty as well as inequity in worker protection.
