| AIHA RMS Webinar: ACGIH Derived No Effect Levels |
Wed Mar 3, 2010 12:00 PM
AIHA-RMS Webinar Event:
"ACGIH Derived No Effect Levels (DNELs): What Are They and How Will They Change the Occupational Health OEL Landscape?"
Course Content:
The European Union (EU) REACH regulation has prompted hazard and exposure assessments and risk characterizations of thousands of existing substances currently in commerce in the EU. Derived No Effect Levels (DNELs) are examples of the information being generated as a result of the new requirements, and are used for purposes of risk characterization. There are some concerns that DNELs will become de-facto occupational exposure limits (OELs) — an issue this webinar will address. To adequately assess how DNELs compare to OELs, it is important to understand how they are derived and how they will be applied or used in Europe. Just as OELs have limitations and conditions regarding their use, the same can be said for DNELs and that comparison will be made as well. Finally, the benefits of DNELs and how they could fit into the OEL derivation process will be discussed.
