Mérethatárok

Mérethatárok, often translated as "limit values" or "thresholds," refers to the maximum permissible concentration of a substance or the maximum level of a physical factor that is considered safe or acceptable in a given context. These limits are established by regulatory bodies, scientific organizations, or industry standards to protect human health, environmental quality, or the integrity of materials and processes.

The concept of mérethatárok is applied across a wide range of fields. In environmental protection, they define acceptable levels of pollutants in air, water, and soil, such as maximum permissible concentrations of heavy metals or particulate matter. In occupational health and safety, they set exposure limits for hazardous substances in the workplace, like the maximum allowed concentration of chemical vapors or noise levels. In food safety, mérethatárok specify the maximum allowable levels of contaminants, additives, or residues in food products. Similarly, in the field of medicine, they can refer to therapeutic windows for drug dosages or acceptable levels of certain biomarkers.

The establishment of mérethatárok typically involves a rigorous scientific process, including risk assessment, toxicological studies, and consideration of available data. These values are often subject to review and revision as new scientific information emerges or as societal values evolve. Violations of established mérethatárok can result in legal consequences, fines, or mandated corrective actions.
