Binding Limit Value for the protection of workers from the respirable fraction of crystalline silica

The European institutions reached an agreement on the respirable fraction of crystalline silica. A binding limit value for the respirable fraction of crystalline silicate was proposed at 0.1 mg / m³. However, this limit value will be revised by the European Commission as part of the next assessment of the implementation of the Directive 2004/37 / EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens and mutagens.
