ICdA position on the inclusion of cadmium biomonitoring at the workplace, and on the RAC recommendation for an OEL and BLV.

ICdA

In its RAC recommendations for OEL and BLV values, RAC did not respond to the Commission request. Indeed, in its latest opinion, the RAC recommended the setting of a BLV without reassessing the OEL originally set at 0.001 mg/m3 (inhalable fraction), a value which was derived precisely under the assumption that no biomonitoring was conducted at the workplace and no BLV was set.
