Values (TLVs). These guidelines are relied on by OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration} in the United States and similar agencies around the world. Criticisms of the
guide-line setting process have pointed to problems with data collection, inadequate research,
overwhelming dependence on data supplied by financially interested corporations, and slow
response to advances in medical information. In carrying out the aforesaid acts, the ACGIH was
negligent in their failure to analyze or critically evaluate previously published literature, or
review and incorporate current literature, failure to adequately assess the financially motivated
scientific data provided by asbestos corporations, their insurers, and medical consultants, and
their limited review process, including but not limited to the following representative list:
(a) The NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENT INDUSTRIAL
HYGIENISTS (NCGIH) was formed in 1938. In 1942, the NCGIH began to develop a list of
proposed Maximum Permissible Concentrations (MPC) or Maximum Allowable Atmospheric
Concentrations, for various hazardous atmospheric substances, including asbestos. In the,
minutes of the Fifth Annual Meeting in 1942, the MPC Subcommittee internally noted that the
MPC's were “not to be construed as recommended safe concentrations.” In 1946, the NCGIH
was renamed the AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL
HYGIENISTS, INC, (ACGIH), and despite the internally acknowledged inadequacy of the
asbestos MPC or the lack of any research by the ACGIH, they adopted, circulated, represented,
and otherwise promulgated a 5 million particles per cubic foot (mppef) asbestos guideline based
on a faulty study performed by Dr. W.C. Dreessen in 1938 at a textile plant in North Carolina.
(b) in 1947, the ACGIH vaguely defined the MPC as “that amount of gas, vapor,
fume, or dust which can be tolerated by man with no bodily discomfort nor impairment of bodily
function, either immediate or after years of exposure.” In 1948, they changed the name of the
guideline from MPC to Threshold Limit Values (TLV), but still failed to adequately define the
guideline or verify its propriety or scientific justification. In 1953, they issued a new conflicted
definition, describing the guideline as both an “average” and a “maximum”. Despite their failure
to conduct any new evaluations or research, in 1961, the ACGIH propounded a new definition of
the TLV as a “time-weighted average concentration”. While arbitrarily adopting and changing
66 © Copyright 2003 Bravton %Purce!t
OBRAYT! PURCELL MASTER COMPLAINT FOR PERSONAL INJURY [AND LOSS OF CONSORTIUM} - ASBESTOSthe definition of the TLV, the ACGIH never performed any studies to test the scientific validity
of the 5 mppef TLV guideline.
(c) In 1968, the ACGIH reviewed the 5 mppcf guideline, and replaced it with a2
mppef guideline. However, the ACGIH negligently published the new guideline as 12 moppef,
never intending said numeric figure to be the actual recommended guideline. Despite internally
(d) Despite decades of scientific studies linking asbestos to cancer, the ACGIH
ignored the carcinogenic dangers of asbestos until 1974.
