What Does STEL Stand For?

STEL stands for Short Term Exposure Limit

STEL, or Short Term Exposure Limit, refers to the maximum concentration of a hazardous substance that a worker can be exposed to for a short duration, typically not exceeding 15 minutes, without experiencing adverse health effects. This limit is established to protect workers from the acute effects of exposure during brief, infrequent instances, ensuring a safer workplace environment.
