The measurement of exposure values ​​of dust, smoke and people formed by chemical substances used in raw materials in the working environment by using certain technical tools and determining the daily and weekly exposure values ​​and STEL values ​​are also called chemical measurements.

In environment measurements, very toxic substances, toxic substances, harmful substances, corrosive substances, irritants, allergic substances, carcinogens and similar definitions are used.
