L'abréviation TLV-STEL tient lieu des mots Threshold Limit Values - Short Term Exposure Limit (Adaptation française : VLE-Très courte durée). Il s'agit de la concentration maximale à laquelle les travailleurs peuvent être exposés de façon continue, pour une période allant jusqu'à 15 minutes, sans éprouver l'une des affections suivantes : - une irritation; - une modification chronique ou irréversible des tissus; - une narcose [...]. Cette définition est valable à condition : 1) de ne pas autoriser plus de quatre dépassements par jour; 2) d'imposer un délai d'au moins 60 minutes entre ces périodes d'exposition; 3) de ne pas dépasser les valeurs [...] TLV-TWA. Cette valeur dite TLV-STEL est donc une valeur plafond [...] 3, record 1, French, - valeur%20limite%20d%27exposition%20pour%20une%20exposition%20de%20courte%20dur%C3%A9e
