Criteria for a Recommended Standard. Occupational Exposure to Inorganic Arsenic.

PB228151

Publication Date	1973
Page Count	115
Abstract	The report presents the criteria and the recommended standard based thereon which were prepared to meet the need for preventing occupational diseases arising from exposure to arsenic and its inorganic compounds other than arsine and lead arsenate. The proposed standard applies only to the processing, manufacture, and use of arsenical products as applicable under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The standard was not designed for the population-at-large, and any extrapolation beyond general occupational exposures is not warranted. It is intended to protect against injury from inorganic arsenicals, be measurable by techniques that are valid, reproducible, and available to industry and official agencies, and be attainable with existing technology.
