You cannot measure exactly the sound pressure level of the noise. It will change a bit. You cannot decide the allowable sound pressure level exactly on the minute.
It depeds on the listening person. Some are more sensitive and some are less.
"Permitted Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL"
Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t:
115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec)
112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min)
109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min)
106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min)
103 dB = 7.5 minutes
100 dB = 15 minutes
97 dB = 30 minutes
94 dB = 1 hour XXX
91 dB = 2 hours
88 dB = 4 hours
85 dB = 8 hours
82 dB = 16 hours
Lower dBs are said to be harmless
Accepted standards for recommended permissible exposure time for continuous time weighted average noise, according to NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in 2002.
For every 3 dBs over 85dB, the permissible exposure time before possible damage can occur is cut in half.
The maximum permissible dose refers to the highest amount of a substance that can be safely consumed or exposed to without causing harmful effects. Understanding how a substance relates to the maximum permissible dose helps determine its safety for use or exposure. If the substance exceeds the maximum permissible dose, it may pose health risks or lead to toxicity.
The margin of safety is calculated by dividing the LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of the population) by the ED50 (effective dose for 50% of the population). A larger margin of safety indicates a wider gap between the dose that is lethal and the dose that is effective, resulting in a higher level of safety.
The maximum safe dose of borax for humans varies depending on body weight, age, and overall health. However, ingesting large amounts of borax can lead to toxicity symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It is important to follow recommended guidelines for safe use and consult a healthcare professional if there are concerns about borax ingestion.
The permissible limits for manganese, iron, copper, nickel, and chromium in foods are outlined in the Codex Alimentarius, a collection of international food standards established by the FAO and WHO. These limits are designed to ensure the safety and quality of food products, with specific maximum levels set for each metal based on scientific evidence and risk assessments. It is important for food producers and regulators to adhere to these limits to protect public health and prevent potential toxicity from excessive metal consumption.
When something is saturated, it means it is at its maximum capacity or concentration and cannot hold or absorb any more of something. This term is commonly used in chemistry to describe a solution where no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent.
The permissible exposure limit (PEL) for lead in the workplace is 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air, averaged over an 8-hour workday. This limit is set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to protect workers from the health effects of lead exposure. Employers must take measures to ensure that workers are not exposed to lead levels above the PEL.
The maximum permissible concentration of mercury in air is 0,1 mg/m3.

For ingestion the maximum permissible intake is 7 picograms.
The permissible dose rate in industrial radiography is typically set by regulatory agencies and varies depending on the country and specific circumstances. In general, dose rates are kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) to minimize radiation exposure to workers and the public. Monitoring and compliance with established dose limits are essential to ensure safety in industrial radiography operations.
