Exposure standards represent the airborne concentration of a particular substance in the worker's breathing
zone, exposure to which, according to current knowledge, should not cause adverse health effects nor cause
undue discomfort to nearly all workers. The exposure standard can be of three forms; time-weighted average
(TWA), peak, or short term exposure limit (STEL).
