Neurotoxic substances ?
Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL) ?
Daily exposure limit values (VLA-ED) published by the Spanish National Institute of Safety and Health at Work (INSST). They represent the average concentration of a chemical agent in the worker's breathing zone, measured or calculated in a time-weighted manner for an 8-hour daily working period.
Specific environmental risks
Volatile organic compounds ?
