Who is the ACGIH?
Despite its name, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) no longer confines membership to government employees. Industrial hygienists from industry, academia, research and other nations work together in its 11 working committees. As the ACGIH says, the best known of its committees is the Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances Committee, the committee that developed the TLVs that were the subject of the Court’s dismissal. The ACGIH established this committee in 1941, and it published its first list of TLVs in 1946.
