Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) represent warning levels of biological response to the chemical, or warning levels of the chemical or its metabolic product(s) in tissues, fluids, or exhaled air of exposed workers, regardless of whether the chemical was inhaled, ingested, or absorbed via skin. Introduction of the BEI is a step in the evolution of the concept of TLVs. ... TLVs are a measure of the composition of the external environment surrounding the worker. BEIs are a measure of the amount of chemical absorbed into the body. 3, record 2, English, - biological%20exposure%20index

Certains paramètres peuvent être détectés sans qu'il y ait exposition professionnelle à l'agent impliqué. Les valeurs de référence sont donc les valeurs observées dans la population générale non professionnellement exposée (95ième percentile). Les valeurs de surveillance biologique sont celles proposées dans le cadre de la surveillance des sujets professionnellement exposés par l'ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists) : BEI (Biological Exposure Indices); DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinshaft) : BAT (Biologischer Arbeitsstoff-Toleranz-Wert); la France : IBE (Indices Biologiques d'Exposition); la Suisse : VBT (Valeurs Biologiques Tolérables); la Finlande : BAL (Biological Action Levels) et le Laboratoire de Toxicologie industrielle : VBA (Valeurs Biologiques Admissibles). 2, record 2, French, - indice%20biologique%20d%27exposition
