List of MAK and BAT Values 1999

MAK values (Maximum Concentrations at the Workplace) and BAT values (Biological Tolerance Values) promote the protection of health at the workplace. They are efficient indicators for the toxic potential of chemical compounds. This book contains a list of scientifically recommended threshold limit values for more than 600 chemical compounds. Carcinogens, germ cell mutagens, embryotoxicants, sensitizing substances and those potentially bearing a risk to pregnancy are treated separately. The evaluations are revised annually by a commission of experts. The report should be of use to toxicologists, industrial physicians, chemists, and for all involved in the establishment of health and safety regulations.
