  "definition": "The maximum concentration of a hazardous substance to which a worker can be exposed for a continuous 15-minute period without suffering from irritation, chronic tissue damage, or narcosis. Exposures at this limit must not be longer than 15 minutes and should not occur more than four times per day. There must be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at this limit, and the daily time-weighted average must not be exceeded.",
