Aluminium and aluminium compounds - Health-based recommended occupational exposure limit

At request of the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment, the Health Council of the Netherlands recommends health-based occupational exposure limits for the concentration of toxic substances in the air at the workplace. These recommendations are made by the Council's Dutch Expert Committee on Occupational Safety (DECOS).
The present advice on aluminium and aluminium compounds was prepared in cooperation with the Nordic Expert Group for Criteria Documents of Health Risks from Chemicals (NEG), an advisory body of the Nordic countries.
The conclusions in this advice are based on scientific publications which appeared before April 2009.
