Tech/Engineering - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / Tank cleaning price list
German term or phrase: Schwefelsäure 96% LEV
Price list for cleaning tanks/tankers that have contained various chemicals and other products. LEV some kind of exposure limit? I know LEV as local exhaust ventilation but that doesn't make sense here. Same product appears as 96% LE/VME (median exposure limit) and TW = time-weighted exposure. Or am I completely on the wrong track with these?

What is LEV?
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) is known as a method of managing and decreasing the direct exposure of employees to airborne dirt, dust, fumes and vapours which may be hazardous to their health and wellbeing. An example of this could be where an employee is operating a table saw which produces dust from the materials that are being cut. A Local Exhaust Ventilation system would remove the vast majority of that airborne dust through a hood connected to ducting that has suction provided by a fan. This would system would extract the dust from the local area and either discharge it in to a larger filtration system or in to a local filter connected to the LEV system. The clean air is then released back in to the local atmosphere where it poses no hazard to staff and employees.
