For oil mist and oil smoke, Sweden has set the threshold limit value to 1 mg\/m<sup>3<\/sup>, which as been valid since 1990.

After having remitted the results to different authorities, a decision was made on August 21, 2018 to implement a new directive named <strong>AFS 2018:1<\/strong>. \u00a0It will replace the previous AFS 2015:7. You will find the directive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.av.se\/globalassets\/filer\/publikationer\/foreskrifter\/hygieniska-gransvarden-afs-2018-1.pdf\">here<\/a>, but unfortunately it is only available in Swedish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the associated Consequence Report, the health risks connected to high levels of oil mist and oil smoke from metal working fluids are discussed. For example, it is pointed at several \u201dbreakouts\u201d of respiratory health issues, mainly within metal working industry both in Sweden and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In order to protect workers from these health risks, the Swedish Occupational Health Authority suggests to reduce the recommended <em>target<\/em> value for the total exposure of metal working fluids during 8 hours to <strong><u>0,2 mg\/m<sup>3<\/sup><\/u><\/strong>.
