The process of determining exposure limits involves several steps:
Data Collection: Gathering toxicological, epidemiological, and clinical data on the substance. Hazard Identification: Identifying the types of adverse health effects the substance can cause. Dose-Response Assessment: Evaluating the relationship between the dose and the severity of the response. Exposure Assessment: Estimating the level of exposure to the substance in various occupational settings. Risk Characterization: Combining the information from the previous steps to estimate the risk at different exposure levels.
