The MAK Collection for Occupational Health and Safety

The MAK-Collection for Occupational Health and Safety answers questions on the impact of several hundred chemical substances on humans, especially those working in the manufacturing process. This series is based on the MAK Values, which for 50 years have been collected and evaluated under occupational health aspects by the Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area (part of the DFG, the German Research Foundation) alongside other threshold values and classifications. These threshold values and classifications form the basis of the legal regulations in Germany and many other countries around the world.
