“OSHA realizes the inadequacy of many of its Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) and is seeking creative solutions, both long term and short term, to address this inadequacy.”
For the benefit of the readers of the blog, I would appreciate if you leave a comment below to indicate what chemicals are of immediate concern. You can submit your nominations to OSHA here by 27th August:

It’s great that OSHA is seeking community input but it could also benefit from looking externally to European, Australian & New Zealand and United Kingdom standards.
