3、y measurements conducted in aircraftcabins.In particular,the guide describes methodology forderiving acceptable concentrations for airborne chemicalcontaminants,based on health and comfort considerations.1.2 The procedures for deriving acceptable concentrationsare based on considerations of comfort
4、and health effects,including odor and irritant effects,of individual chemicalcontaminants being evaluated.The guide does not providespecific benchmark or guidance values for individual chemi-cals to compare with results of air quality measurements.1.3 Chemical contaminant exposures under both routin
5、e andepisodic conditions for passengers and crew are considered.1.4 This guide does not address airborne microbiologicalcontaminants,which are also important in consideration ofaircraft cabin air quality.This guide also does not addressmethodologies for investigations of air quality complaints.1.5 T
6、his guide assumes that a list of chemical contaminantsof potential concern has been developed based on existingconcentration,emission,or material composition data.1.6 The primary information resources for developing ac-ceptable concentrations are databases and documents main-tained or published by c
7、ognizant authorities or organizationsconcerned with health effects of exposure to contaminants.1.7 Acceptable concentrations developed through this guidemay be used as a basis for selecting test methods with adequatereliability and sensitivity to assess the acceptability of aircraftcabin environment
8、s.1.8 Procedures described in this guide should be carried outin consultation with qualified toxicologists and health effectsspecialists to ensure that acceptable concentrations developedare consistent with the current scientific understanding andknowledge base.1.9 The values stated in SI units are
9、to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.10 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and
