Health-based occupational exposure limit for endotoxins

At the request of the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment, the Dutch Expert Committee on Occupational Safety (DECOS), a committee of the Health Council of the Netherlands, recommends health-based occupational exposure limits for airborne substances to which people are exposed in the workplace. These recommendations serve as a basis in setting legally binding occupational exposure limits by the Minister. In this report, the Committee considers the implications of exposure to endotoxins and recommends a health-based occupational exposure limit for these substances.
