# The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (Amendment) Regulations 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
1 These Regulations amend the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 (“the principal Regulations”) by substituting for Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations the Schedule set out in the Schedule to these Regulations. Schedule 1 specifies maximum exposure limits for certain substances which are hazardous to health.
2 The Schedule introduces new maximum exposure limits for benzene, acrylamide, and an additional maximum exposure limit for man made mineral fibres. Amendments are also made to the existing maximum exposure limits for ethylene dibromide, arsenic and its compounds and for rubber fume. One maximum exposure limit, that for 1-methoxy-2-propanol, has been removed from the Schedule.
