TABLE Z-1 Limits for Air Contaminants.

TABLE Z-1 LIMITS FOR AIR CONTAMINANTS

NOTE: Because of the length of the table, explanatory Footnotes applicable to all substances are given below as well
as at the end of the table. Footnotes specific only to a limited number of substances are also shown within the table.
Footnote(1) The PELs are 8-hour TWAs unless otherwise noted; a (C) designation denotes a ceiling limit. They are to be
determined from breathing-zone air samples.
Footnote(a) Parts of vapor or gas per million parts of contaminated air by volume at 25 degrees C and 760 torr.
Footnote(b) Milligrams of substance per cubic meter of air. When entry is in this column only, the value is exact; when
listed with a ppm entry, it is approximate.
Footnote(c) The CAS number is for information only. Enforcement is based on the substance name. For an entry
covering more than one metal compound measured as the metal, the CAS number for the metal is given - not CAS
numbers for the individual compounds.
Footnote(d) The final benzene standard in 1910.1028 applies to all occupational exposures to benzene except in some
circumstances the distribution and sale of fuels, sealed containers and pipelines, coke production, oil and gas drilling
and production, natural gas processing, and the percentage exclusion for liquid mixtures; for the excepted
subsegments, the benzene limits in Table Z-2 apply. See 1910.1028 for specific circumstances.
Footnote(e) This 8-hour TWA applies to respirable dust as measured by a vertical elutriator cotton dust sampler or
equivalent instrument. The time-weighted average applies to the cotton waste processing operations of waste
recycling (sorting, blending, cleaning and willowing) and garnetting. See also 1910.1043 for cotton dust limits
applicable to other sectors.
Footnote(f) All inert or nuisance dusts, whether mineral, inorganic, or organic, not listed specifically by substance
name are covered by the Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) limit which is the same as the inert or nuisance
dust limit of Table Z-3.
Footnote(2) See Table Z-2.
Footnote(3) See Table Z-3

Footnote(4) Varies with compound.

Footnote(5) See Table Z-2 for the exposure limits for any operations or sectors where the exposure limits in 1910.1026
are stayed or are otherwise not in effect.

Footnote(1) The PELs are 8-hour TWAs unless otherwise noted; a (C) designation denotes a ceiling limit. They are to be
determined from breathing-zone air samples.
Footnote(a) Parts of vapor or gas per million parts of contaminated air by volume at 25 degrees C and 760 torr.
Footnote(b) Milligrams of substance per cubic meter of air. When entry is in this column only, the value is exact; when
listed with a ppm entry, it is approximate.
Footnote(c) The CAS number is for information only. Enforcement is based on the substance name. For an entry
covering more than one metal compound measured as the metal, the CAS number for the metal is given - not CAS
numbers for the individual compounds.
Footnote(d) The final benzene standard in 1910.1028 applies to all occupational exposures to benzene except in some
circumstances the distribution and sale of fuels, sealed containers and pipelines, coke production, oil and gas drilling
and production, natural gas processing, and the percentage exclusion for liquid mixtures; for the excepted
subsegments, the benzene limits in Table Z-2 apply. See 1910.1028 for specific circumstances.
Footnote(e) This 8-hour TWA applies to respirable dust as measured by a vertical elutriator cotton dust sampler or
equivalent instrument. The time-weighted average applies to the cotton waste processing operations of waste
recycling (sorting, blending, cleaning and willowing) and garnetting. See also 1910.1043 for cotton dust limits
applicable to other sectors.
Footnote(f) All inert or nuisance dusts, whether mineral, inorganic, or organic, not listed specifically by substance
name are covered by the Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) limit which is the same as the inert or nuisance
dust limit of Table Z-3.
Footnote(2) See Table Z-2.
Footnote(3) See Table Z-3
Footnote(4) Varies with compound.
Footnote(5) See Table Z-2 for the exposure limits for any operations or sectors where the exposure limits in 1910.1026

are stayed or are otherwise not in effect.
