A 15-minute, time -weighted average concentration to which workers may be exposed up to four times per day with at least 60 minutes between successive exposures with no ill effect if the TLV-TWA (see below) is not exceeded. The limit supplements the TLV-TWA where there are recognized acute effects from a substance with toxic effects that result primarily from chronic exposures. Developed by the ACGIH.
